So... I feel like I am already dead. The only hope is reading studies, trying to figure out what to do in order to fix this shit. I am extremely tired, most of the time totally not-functional for years. There is not a single fucking positive emotion inside me. Blank mind, it makes everythimg creepy as fuck, alienates me from people and society in general. I hope that's enough for today 😄 Enjoy. (edited)

qwerkyscience 6/27/2019 8:51 PM
When I’m manic it’s the opposite of this. I tend to be far too open with new people. As if I’ve forgotten what even normal levels of risk are. I’ll break social norms like talking personally or almost intimately just casually to ppl. It doesn’t come off as weird to others. Actually I think ppl love this except I start to notice it’s way too open and then try to be careful. I think “omg what are you doing you don’t know this person even”.
8:51 PM
I think maybe it’s your families judgments at the core of your feeling
Avatar
I can relate, tho in my case i think it’s cyclothymia rather than bipolar (amphetamine exacerbates it). Officially, i have adhd-pi and gad. I’m also drug dependent, which hasn’t caused any major issues before, but tmrw i’m travelling to uk to meet a girl and i don’t know how i’ll manage. Don’t want drugs to thwart this opportunity but it’s causing so much anxiety, and i’m scared i’ll hurt her by appearing distant and aloof, emotionally inept, flat, faceless (edited)
9:27 PM
I’ve tried to explain it to her, but she has bpd so she’s very delicate, and conditioned responses obscure her perspective (she thinks i’m fabricating excuses so that i can reject her)

totally relate. I think people love this cause they subcsoncsioussly want such kind of meaningful convos but yep... social norms.

@qwerkyscience yeah ive recently been like that, but after you meet someone boundaries are so weird to get by, like if they don't mention something rly personal, should you? it's odd but there is that feeling you get of risking sharing something deeply and not receiving the same type of trust, i really don't know

she asked me if I am under influence of anything

I sniffed 4f-mph before... but it didn't work... so I jumped into conclusion that I won't tell it cause it doesn't influence me, mentioned some herbs, bacopa, ginkgo, green tea etc, but she obviously doesn't consider them as a drugs (edited)
3:36 PM
also took diclazepam... it should knock the fuck out of me I think but I finally discovered why doesn't it happen, still gotta confirm
3:37 PM
whether diclazepam has any affinity on its own or MOST or all of his actions is reliant on metabolites- if the latter (edited)

The only thing I am considering is whether it is worth trying talking with psychiatrist, telling him that I was taking SSRI, stopped, then got socially isolated for a year, after this period I wanted to try psychedelics and they haven't ever worked again therefore I suspect there is some issue with 5ht2a and would like to fix it due to the fact that it suppresses KOR with high probability and since I was deprived from my mother after birth plus experienced a lot of weird stuff leading to anxiety and even dissociation earlier in life, fucked up spatial memory, anhedonia, now even stimulants don't produce any pleasure and we know that each of these things is influenced by stress- like spatial memory, anhedonia, there's even study on rats about suppressant effect of 5ht2a on GABA release in rat's basolateral amygdala so it, doesn't calm it. Then we know hippocampus is being "shrunk" by stress which is also connected with spatial memory. There's lower binding of D2r in OCD. Lol. This all cannot be coincident. Like I'd believe if there was one factor which is connected with another one but for me personally it's too much.
5:03 PM
Then we know that maternal deprivation fucks up your glutamate/GABA balance by influencing respective ions transporters in the brain and it is too pernament
5:03 PM
what does it mean? Welcome neuroses, anxiety and later GABAergic addiction

KOR enhances D2 but I think commonly it can result in later tolerance. But I think with KOR it’s that state of mind of dissociation and it’s like being more conscious but unable to access memories and being biased to fears and negative stuff

I was thinking about it recently
6:01 PM
since it makes sense
6:02 PM
that stress creates aversion at the beginning
6:02 PM
pfff
6:02 PM
not at the beginning
6:02 PM
later
6:02 PM
opposite
6:02 PM
in the beginning it motivates u to get out of the shit u found urself in
6:02 PM
so it enhances D2
6:02 PM
that was my way of thinking
6:03 PM
as a result of constant stress, constant KOR activation D2 downregulates, and that's when aversion is created
6:03 PM
it was mentioned that KOR activation icnreases some "euphoric effects" of drugs
6:03 PM
or something like this
6:03 PM
ie sensetizes to them
6:04 PM
which would make sense- person is experiencing pain, pain killers aka drugs is what body wants you to do theoretically
6:04 PM
but well, it's short term solution... later it has to downregulate D2 and create aversion, cause it doesn't work obviously...
6:04 PM
I think it has such a biphasic effect
6:05 PM
depends what kind of stress it is
6:05 PM
and the same analogy can be found in adrenergic system
6:06 PM
aka activation of alpha-1 during non-stressful situations (but it's based only on conclusion that alpha-1 is necessary for stims to work) but it is destructive long term
6:06 PM
therefore suicide victims have lower alpha-1 binding
6:06 PM
and it is overlap with anhedonia
6:07 PM
like whole body is being chased by the tiger
6:07 PM
so heart has to do its job twice as much, muscles, brain etc (edited)
6:08 PM
later it gets fucked up and things like anhedonia and issues with energy etc are being developed
6:08 PM
so downregulated alpha-1a despite it's theoreticallly "negative" impact during stress
6:08 PM
is a bad thing
6:09 PM
idk how thing looks like with alpha-2 and forgot whole heteromers, would have to check
6:10 PM
anyway hope we will continue this convo later, cause u always add something I don't know or u tell me where I say total bullshit 😄

Hmm, the question is whether NMDAr downregulates in response to GABA receptors downregulation? (edited)
10:25 PM
or totally opposite?
10:26 PM
well, I think the latter one
10:26 PM
also fi NMDAr antagonists upregulate in response to antagonism lmao
10:26 PM
never found info on this one
Avatar
so... I think it might be generally good way to take some NMDAr antagonists while taking breaks from benzos if one is forced to do so
10:34 PM
or is alcoholic etc
10:34 PM
same goes for bacopa
10:35 PM
but with bacopa there was a study that it even is able to potentiate benzo? And upregulation occurs through some weird mechanism plus reversal of enzymes alterations (GAD and prolly something else?)
10:37 PM
anyway DXM could inhibit benzos due to reducing GABA, or by enzyme interaction thus not allowing drug to be metabolized into active metabolite cause I think diclazepam is inactive on its own and diazepam's metabolites are the ones responsible for its action
10:37 PM
now the same shit happens with green tea I think lol, when I am no longer taking DXM

@Theo Riginal you say everyone reacts differently to the same drugs in the debate involving MOR/KOR topic. That is only kind of true. Heroin reliably kills people in the same ways over and over. It stops breathing. Heroin also makes a lot of people nod out. People have stereotyped the effects of heroin into memes. The way you argue sounds like maybe some people on heroin react actually completely different. I think one could act more energized on heroin but even when they are energetic their muscles might be acting similar to the lazy person. I think this is very contextual too. Someone who continuously suffers might get lazy as if they have a moment to finally relax. But someone who lives some fast paced life maybe would just feel good and keep moving about. I don’t think it’s truly about the drug reacting different based on chemistry even. I mean technically everything is chemistry even the contexts that alter us based on incoming light waves in which their shapes signal brain chemistry alterations based on learned patterns of sensory stimuli. I think combining drugs is what taking a drug is like. Everyday situations are intoxicating us and interacting with the chemicals we ingest. Our diet as well. This makes drugs less predictable but it’s also not honest to view drugs as completely unpredictable. When you say bottom up, I feel there are neuro studies involving KOR that actually do attempt working on this level. They check for behaviors that correlate to KOR stimulation and attempt to generalize it. That doesn’t mean the KOR is entirely responsible for the behavior alone but it still means a lot.

I also think weed is not one of the more safe drugs for mental health necessarily

Theo Riginal 7/28/2019 1:47 PM
I did not say such, please dont interprete more into what I actually said. I did say people react different to various drugs and that doesn't mean some drugs are bad for all of us. In fact most drugs are having more bad effects than good ones.

That's why I suggest you drop the entire MOR/KOR LH, and whatever other chemicals you heard about and focus on psychology first.

That's my psychological approach instead of the psychiatry one: software problem, you just have made a bad programming virus you couldn't yet get rid of yourself. The psychotropic substances might cover some symptomatics and make life easier or supportable at all but don't really fix it ever because not adressing the underlying software cause that could be fixed with simple psychotherapy

1. It isn't usually the person who has such problems which is responsible for this "programming failure"

To be clear, I am not presenting anti-psychology approach. I just find that its role in treating mental disorders is sometimes overrated and some of the things simply cannot be fixed this way. It's great anyway. I think everyone should have at least some basic psychological knowledge and it'd serve a huge benefit for the society or even humanity as a whole. (edited)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrNBEhzjg8I maternal attachment deficits are known to psychology long time and are indeed deep wired in sensible development stages in the youth. It can bring out general anxiety or social disorders in adult life. Humans are treatable, our amazing plasticity of our brains allows us to rewire and help get over any terrible misprogramming. Only harmful tendencies that seem to be natural cant be fixed themselves but learned to deal with (i.e. pedophilia) or problems from real hardware damages might need additional chemistry support, but I want that functional MRI first before you do risky psychotropic chemistry addition to you. Better try good psychological approach first, might turn out your hardware is fine, you just took up a software virus like most of us do from time to time, sometimes without being able to solve it ourselves without the right hint or help.
2:58 PM
😓 horrible animal experiments we've been doing but helped psychology a lot

well, this study mentioned life-long deficits resulting from maternal deprivation following birth (only in hospital) not such things as neglect etc which are pure traumas later in life and following the logic from the study about maternal deprivation following birth (in hospital) one can pretty safely jump into conclusion that deficits in one's (in this example) GABAergic/Glutamatergics system will be even worse if this child will be constantly experiencing neglect, being abused etc. But again. Show me a single study showing efficacy of plasticity when it comes to changes in these systems due to stress. I haven't ever seen a SINGLE STUDY. Neuroplasticity is beautiful as a theory when it comes to actually treating certain disorders imo. Otherwise I'd be glad to see some proof. Ofc I would like to do functional MRI first and I plan to do it in the future. I just need to be in posession of something when I will be doing this.

I am visiting psychologist. I feel she didn't know how to help anhedonia. It was some therapy for addicts and since I am barely using any drugs these days she told me that well... it's rehab facility (which was total BS) and I don't fit there.
3:08 PM
She simply didn't know how to help me so she suggested to try another approach aka psychodynamic therapy or it's my false assumption, who knows 😄 (edited)
3:09 PM
She was too biased in her own beliefs I think, maybe I am too and I am unaware of it, but the only thing which can solve it in my case is seeing actual research and well, it'd be great to diagnose myself and it isn't really possible in the country I live in. It'd require fMRI (but it still won't reveal the real causes), so most likely PET-CT with some radioactive ligands of receptors I suspect are influencing negatively my state of mind
3:10 PM
In case I have brain damage then I don't think I will want to fix anything really. Life with total anhedonia isn't simply possible despite what people are telling such person to do or to try over and over.

You need to find a trustworthy psychologist that gives you reason to try psychological approaches, she obviously couldn't help you and it's a waste of time to go to a psychologist when you lack the trusting relationship to him/her.

It might even be that the neurodermitis was triggered by the failed love depression (epigenetics!), but in any way suicide was no option just because I thought I have to be there in case 😅 so could have helped against me suiciding at least

You have no idolized failed love you need to be there for, can be positive or negative. But my attempt is to try to persuade you that you might be hardware okay and just software stuck like I had to find out. I didn't know I'm idolizing and forbidding myself to become happy, I thought it's unchangeable and all I can do is live my half-grey life on weed/entertainment and such distractions and symptoms covering.

I never wanted to suicide, I thought I had to live with every suffering I go through. But as a doctor's son, I learned there are medicines (which names I always forget) to have a peaceful suicide. It's horrible how much suffering people go through to end their suffering of life. My best friend tried first with cutting his aorta and hand arterias and failed and finally successfully killed himself with CO-toxication which must also be quite cruel without me knowing he still wants to suicide. 😓

I am really 20 years into thinking and experiencing no more feelings of love as I used to, but I had to realize (reading psychology advice on it) that it must be myself in my way, not allowing to let go of my anxiety and fall in love again. It's retarded but amazing in a way how we can only change ourselves but from within us. And how we often rather unconsciously betray ourselves...

I'll just ignore surajsoib, afaik he's a troll from the ACA discord not to be taken serious. I'm very much for distinguishing humans from other animals in some terms, yes. Aren't you? We have the most complex brains and have the most complex social structures and morals. It's not generally unethical to me if humans ate humans. I'm thinking of natural tribes who eat parts of their deceased loved ones to "embody" them ritually. (Maybe weird tradition to us, but hey, other peoples other morals) We are omnivores like pigs and rodents, our close relatives. But certainly, civilised humans dont hunt other humans to eat. Same goes for hunting or destroying apes' natural habitat. It's not unethical to hold cattle like Cows and chickens imo (under appropriate conditions). They dont realize they're our meat and can still live happy lives. (I'm skeptical that killing baby cows is okay though, I think every animal deserves at least the chance to grow up - no veal for me even though I love vitello tonnato 😉) Apes and humans are highly social animals and their understanding that you hunt them to eat them is cruel between close related and social, intelligent animals. If cows reach higher awareness and ethics like us humans and apes, it might become unethical aswell to hold them for meat. So far with proper farm animal welfare and housing, it is still okay imo #HappyCows https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Beautiful_Swiss_cows_-_panoramio.jpg/1200px-Beautiful_Swiss_cows_-_panoramio.jpg (edited)
Avatar
qwerkyscience 7/29/2019 2:51 PM
I distinguish animals and even individuals yes. Here we specifically explore the distinction of animals and humans in regards to deservingness to live in a sense. In the case of eating deceased relatives, we do not eat deceased animals which I would actually be ok with. Eating meat from the trash is also ethical. As is eating road kill. It’s just killing an animal when it’s unnecessary that becomes unethical. Hunting humans was a closer analogy. It’s worth noting that cows would generally live to about 20 years in the wild but we raise them to be very young before we kill them. Pigs are raised to 6 months and pushed to grow with hormones. As for ethical awareness of animals, I actually do think animals are ethically aware but like humans, many don’t care. There are videos of animals behaving ethically on YouTube. I’ve linked some of these in articles Ive done. I think the way we relate to apes is based mostly on being more similar which makes it easier for us to comprehend their behaviors. We struggle to imagine what the perceptual experience of a mollusk may be because it is too different. So let’s go with ethical awareness. Does this mean it’s more acceptable if we hunt and ate children rather than full grown adult humans because the children have less awareness of ethics? Does this sit right with you? Would you also think torturing a child sounds more acceptable than torturing an adult?
Avatar
Theo Riginal 7/29/2019 5:13 PM
"Here we specifically explore the distinction of animals and humans in regards to deservingness to live in a sense." No, we don't. We see if they deserve not to be held as meat producers for us. "It’s just killing an animal when it’s unnecessary that becomes unethical." Why should hunting or farming to eat meat be unethical for omnivores like humans? It's our natural diet. "It’s worth noting that cows would generally live to about 20 years in the wild but we raise them to be very young before we kill them. Pigs are raised to 6 months and pushed to grow with hormones." Yes, there it's getting unethical: if we don't allow them a normal lifespan and acceptable circumstances for them, hold or kill them with needless suffering for the animals. Must be raised social awareness and changes in law regulations. "I think the way we relate to apes is based mostly on being more similar which makes it easier for us to comprehend their behaviors. We struggle to imagine what the perceptual experience of a mollusk may be because it is too different." No, we understand the enormous but different intelligence of octopuses for example pretty good nowadays, including their limitation of culture (accumulation of experience/knowledge) due to their way of egg care, untill the mother dies and the young must learn all from scratch alone.
5:13 PM
Science always gets you a better insight than your biased own interpretations of reality can. It's not skeptical to assume all we know is biased and false. Animal psychology is also real science and can find out what makes animals happy and sad and which human rights they don't really need (i.e. political). " Does this mean it’s more acceptable if we hunt and ate children rather than full grown adult humans because the children have less awareness of ethics? Does this sit right with you? Would you also think torturing a child sounds more acceptable than torturing an adult?" Why this unfair strawman analogy, that's exactly the opposite of what I said about veal. It's more unethical to harm infants of all animals in our social ape ethical sense. In nature a lion hunts the easiest target, be it an infant or an old or sick animal that can't flight as well as others of the herd. But we have this social empathy and consideration of other lifes, that doesn't mean we must renounce from hunting & farming, but we must value the life of our meat animals aswell and respect and ensure their life quality as the dominant species on the planet imo.
5:18 PM
I'm very concerned with half-expert conclusions but I live in a direct democratic country, we vote 4 times a year on suggested laws by our population and sometimes you have to decide "whether farmers should get state subventions for not sewing the horns off their cows" that's why I'm a fan of infotainment and think the population has to get a broad general knowledge to be a good political citizen with good intentions for people & our ecology.

Would it be ok to keep people for their meat if they didn't know and lived happy lives until you killed them at 20 to eat them?

As we found out, no people and possibly higher apes might realize that which would be a violation of their dignity. Not so for cows & chicken who clearly havent got such social ethics and awareness. Pigs come closest to ape intelligence but not quite yet.

@Theo Riginal When you rephrase “deserve to not be meat” I think this is hugely semantic. The reality is that having animals or people as meat kills them. As if you think perspective changes the actual nuances of the situation or the implications here. The ethical issue isn’t meat itself but the method in which it is acquired.

@Theo Riginal what if we hunt children who lived identical lives as cows for the same amount of time? They would likely behave fairly similar. Access to human culture could be deprived in the way the cow is deprived. For the cow it’s lack of a medium of transmission but for the human we could reject access to culture. So we leave a neglected child out in a field and maybe at least teach it how to acquire food since probably humans aren’t that intelligent, more heavily reliant on culture and becoming increasingly cognitively deficient

I noticed you said something like we should give retarded people human rights because intelligent humans are capable of understanding ethics and applying it to them. We can do this to all mammals too or we can separate by individual. But this is all arbitrary. I’m not sure why Intelligence is a factor even. Our ability to understand that we can be nice to others shouldn’t be turned down based on species itself this is just a descriptor we made to organize the science of animal and plant biology so that we can understand things.

I would have won the argument if I was willing to eat retarded people, what? My argument isn't eating mentally limited animals is okay, my argument is it's okay to eat meat as omnivorous species, for apes, pigs rodents just as for carnivors like cats.

@Theo Riginal You can pick. Do we we give humans rights because of nothing else besides the classification of being human? Maybe how the word sounds, these sounds elicit importance and mean survival is worthy. Hoooooman. We can solve this injustice by labeling all other species as also human perhaps. If it’s based on the actual characteristic of humans, especially as you regarded intelligence or moral agency, then the humans who lack these should not be given rights that are based upon these traits because they do not have these traits. If it’s based on humanness then we can just start saying pigs are humans too, just a quick annotation of the dictionary.

Well, it was offtopic in public science resources so I moved it to general but I feel it is more appropriate for the channel be normal... or try not to fuck urself up even more than u already are I consider using CBD to upregulate CB1 and CB2, then eventually adding cocoa for anandamide and check out how to slow down its breakdown (I think the enzyme responsible for it was called FAADH?). Gotta check out how to decrease its activity if my memory doesn't fail here. + exercise It is a lil' bit confusing tho since presynaptic CB1 activation reduces glutamate thus normalizes NMDAr hyperfunction, maybe CB1 activation after upregulation of it, will be able to enhance NMDAr function ... aka activation of NMDAr, subsequent MOR enhancement... idk... sounds a lil' bit like fighting these dynorphergic mechanisms using ULDN to sensetize/upregulate MOR at nights maybe it can somehow work out. Also using TRPV1 antagonists to slow down tolerance development to opioid agonists, or sensetizing myself to endogenous endorphins and trying to release em via exercise but well... I am not sure whether NMDAr hypofunctionality due to low glutamate is the case or downregulation of NMDAr/AMPAr lmao. I feel definately worse on lamotrygine which is reducing glutamate. So my bet is that upregulating NMDAr and AMPAr is a better way, yet have no idea whether I'd actually improve on lamotrygine aka if such compenstatory changes take place so I dropped it atm. Piracetam upregulates NMDAr... so it would be maybe worth trying. Then increasing IL-10 to reduce inflammation... Anyone has any info on whether blood levels of cytokines reflect their levels in brain? Well, I will prolly dig into it a lot deeper when I will feel like doing it again lmao cause it sounds pretty fked up. (edited)

I increased lamotrigine yesterday and developed some weird headache. Weirdly enough it is specific type of headache I experienced a lot in the past and... benzo always helps with it gotta get into it later and somehow survive this lamo. Guess benzo isn't a good idea to deal with it. Damn, I am able to realize that I have terrible anxiety issues only when I get rid of em. It's some weird pattern, that one (guess it doesn't only apply to me) can notice some issues only when they're actually gone or when something dramatically changes. One isn't even sure what really changed. I guess being trapped in some unusual mindset makes it impossible to even comprehend that it might be different and in fact, it used to be different in the past. (edited)

Maybe actually glutamate release inhibition leads to such things, whether it is due to sodium channel blockade or it is effect of upregulated mGlur, or dynorphin. Less glutamate-> less GABA lol. Tried taking B6 to enhance GAD but it doesn't seem to be helpful anyway. But I am glad that my benzo tolerance is at least somehow reduced.

I even feel cognitive enhancement despite being quite pleasantly relaxed, well it's easier to form sentences and express my thoughts for sure.

@Maravia this server is about floating ideas around, doing explorations in science, often discussing neuroscience. It’s as open as we let it be, but the main actives have been really focused on neuro and philosophy of a particular kind so far. I am a blogger and owner of the server. This was the Qwerky Hive before. My blog is found in #content-stream My posts are very relevant to the explorations here. The studies I’m going thru and collecting are posted in #science-resources and you can contribute with studies in #public-science-resources

You have to define when a set of symptoms becomes autism. But autism is just a set of symptoms

Those symptoms have to be bad before a person is autism
Avatar
qwerkyscience 1/1/2020 6:29 PM
I am actually also skeptical of autism as a specific condition. The way the definition is widening, there almost doesn’t even need to be any overlap of symptom of maybe even mechanism in varying people. The spectrum has become an all inclusive thing. Although there is at least some major themes that seem popular. Social weirdness, hypersensitivity, and usually decent cognition for high functioning autism. For mute autism, it is more obvious but still might not be a single thing.
6:32 PM
It gets weird if everything can be symptoms of autism
Avatar
Idk if there’s a single mechanism that causes all autism associated behavior
6:56 PM
Or that unifies most autism symptoms
6:56 PM
It might be a group of factors that cause a single social response
6:56 PM
And that’s what the common pattern is
6:56 PM
But it’s fun to wonder if there is a common pattern at all
Avatar
Also, you might get into a situation where someone is too high functioning to be considered autistic even if they were tested for whatever reason

1:15 AM
non verbal communication is big thing of the diagnosis some of the autists dont use non-verbal communication or they broadcast it but cant perceive it in others like 14% of non-verbal compared to a 100% control and this is relative to high functioning autism people not the low functioning autism (edited)

im posting this in #casual since I don't know how relevant this is. I originally found @qwerkyscience through his Dynorphin Theory article as it talks of schizophrenia, and wanted to mention Deleuze might be someone people would be into. He talks of schizophrenia as a symptom of capitalism (not in a bad way)

@ulla I believe I’ve heard of Deleuze a little bit although not extensively. It definitely seems to fit in with the social defeat ideas. Capitalism is like factory farming of the working class, which pushes people to their limits of extracting money without negative consequences. Some amount of people still experience horrific lives and they become the schizophrenics. They are perhaps tributed away as a side effect of capitalism. They are perhaps marginal economic losses that get ignored.
Avatar
@qwerkyscience for sure! Deleuze also argues that there's a certain freedom and revolutionary potential with (psychoanalytic) schizophrenia - that it's creative and allows for unlimited semiosis. But capitalism is incompatible with them. It reminded me of your comments on D2 receptors (novelty?). I just wanted to point it out since writing the essay reminded me a lot of what I've read on your blog a while ago

In a sense I test the psychedelics aspect on myself but I’m possibly bipolar and so if it’s very different from schizophrenia, then it may mean anything. What do you experience? Are you saying you’ll see if you become schizophrenic or are you already?
Avatar
Deleted User 3/9/2020 6:41 PM
@qwerkyscience the former. i already have the glutamatergic and dopaminergic predispositions for it. i get psychotic symptoms sometimes and have had profound delusions. grappled with ocd type stuff before etc. and i feel that every few months i get closer n closer to developing schizophrenia n im not entirely sure why but it's likely the psychoactives i take that are accelerating that.

i now believe gamedev holds great capacity for AI development when it comes to quantifying creativity in a digital environment like/... how else can you tedach an ai to learn art.. sound... map design.. etc.. working with files and windows interface... deciding what to add next.. when you have 2.5million games who had their entire development process digitally recorded into a measurable way... ai can use that swath of data and start learning something out of it you can teach an ai to paint picasso and stuff but thats based off reference images.. not reference ideas.. not universe lore an ai who learns these advanced creative processes humans possess and robots do not.. an ai who learns this would be able to understand 100% of warhammer 40k lore, from 40,000+ mental perspectives... capable ofr creating ANY kind of art medium... a sound file... a VR game, a painting, a poem, etc of warhammer 40k reference universe. so any creative content generated can be specified into a niche

Latrepirdine looks kinda interesting. Would be hard to get verified quality without costing a lot though, so probably not a better choice than agomelatine.

It just seems to shut off my cognition until I go to sleep. Not directly sedative, but I find it a lot harder to have fun after I've taken it. Less intelligent thoughts and emotional range.
5:10 PM
I get a similar effect from polygala... And if I can put aside the ease of falling asleep (not to be conflated with sedation)... Low doses of other reuptake inhibitors like methylphenidate and coke also dampen my cognition and emotional range.
5:11 PM
High doses are are a different discussion, signals acting more on post-synaptic receptors
5:12 PM
I figured the commonality is both 5-ht2 antagonists and presynaptic doses of reuptake inhibitors reduce excitatory glutamatergic signalling

The effects were subtle and it was basically just an easy way to become hypnagogic. The stimulation was noticed as feeling almost like I’m falling asleep from insomnia and also I get these electric shocks in my arm when I take too much stimulants and that occurred. 5HT2c antagonism increases norepinephrine and dopamine tho

The conclusion that at least one married is looking at a single assumes the existence of at least one single, so the inverse would also have to be true. At least one single would have to be being looked at by at least one married

Someone could be anyone. If that someone were Jake and Bob was married, there would be a case where it isn't true and that would mean it isn't always true. Now, it would still be true that someone married is looking at someone single, but someone isn't. This is why our differing ideas of what constitutes a guarantee is giving us different results

@Ariadne is not dumb, @Jazz Muzak. (I was kinda surprised to see insults like that when I came to this server from the main article about mad society, but ok)... Anyways. This is a matter of interpretation. We all approach problems with our own mental toolkit. Both answers could be correct. The question was not phrased sufficiently clearly to prevent gridlocks like this.

desmysticat 10/6/2020 9:38 AM
Does a conclusion follow that someone married is guaranteed to be looking at someone single?
@Deleted User solution #1: yes, because there will be at least one married person looking at one single person. solution #2: no, because each married person is not guaranteed to be looking at a single person. To avoid gridlocks the question needs to be reworded because words like "someone" and "guaranteed" are interpretive. In order for the answer to be unequivocally yes, perhaps "Does it follow that among the three, there is at least one married person looking at one single person?" or something to that effect
9:42 AM
Also I mean like this could become a lateral thinking problem really because married/single is not a logical binary. Bob could be polyamorous or in a relationship or whatever 😛

@Deleted User howd you get liver flukes bro
4:02 AM
I remember reading some book from soldiers in vietnam war who said they’d probably get liver flukes from the water they drink and then die from years after
4:03 AM
I think they invented the only medication for em triclabendazole a few decades afterwards
4:03 AM
Actually as late as the early 2000s apparently
4:04 AM
Apparently they increase the risk of gall bladder cancer a fair bit which was like a 1/2 death rate over 5 years
4:05 AM
The funny thing is partly because it’s the only medication that works for em, they’ve been starting to become resistant to it (also overuse in cattle lel)
4:06 AM
Idk man they're not really all that uncommon

Just usually most ppl dont notice em

Yeah, there’s a few types of flukes
4:14 AM
There’s lung flukes which are like a whole different genus caused in undercooked fish more common in se asia
4:14 AM
Also like intestinal and blood flukes which are treated moderately differently
4:15 AM
I know they’re surprisingly common, because I’ve helped a lot of people mostly over reddit who would be suffering from them for a while and their doctors were confused and whatever lul
4:17 AM
They’re pretty distinctive, almost look like corn kernels or tomato peels.. still wonder why

One time I did nutmeg with hbwr to trip on and ate some raw garlic for vasodilation and ginger for vasoconstriction and nausea and ended up puking up some red liver flukes midway through the trip
5:33 AM
I wonder how potent Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds are as anti parasitics
5:38 AM
ive heard a theory that ayahuasca purges may've helped with the whole tropical parasites out there

i was struggling with em for a few months, tried artemesia absinthium (wormwood) tea for a while, then other types of pills, then i got lucky and stumbled across this study that said artemesia annua cures them which thankfully it got nearly all of them, however it was expensive for the extracts and as a broke college student when i noticed they were still around a few weeks later (probably 1/5 of the original) i had some more and it did nothing cuz it needs a high dose

5:43 AM
yea serotonin receptors in the intestines as well
5:43 AM
i think it is kind of a mental thing
5:44 AM
like i wonder if some meditation masters are just able to control their stomach real well... then you have to wonder how that could be ethically tested lol
5:47 AM
funny story. that's pretty much how i met my last girlfriend
5:47 AM
is cuz she was struggling with em for a while, doctors were clueless out in the south
5:48 AM
she was pretty skeptical at first, even though i think she had lost a lot of weight from them over a bit i think, either way she definitely struggled through drinking her pee and over the few weeks of talking to her casually she got really into me lol had some fun times with her
5:50 AM
Why does the pee thing work
5:50 AM
i broke up wtih her some time ago cuz of some personal reasons, even though she was obsessed with me, i kind of think she was a little bit impulsive plus i had some other plans that im doing
5:50 AM
i guess the urea or something gets absorbed in the liver
5:50 AM
although i think it works for a lot of the more gut nasties pretty well, definitely causes some intense reaction down there
5:51 AM
whatever the case, it was way easier and more effective than all the herbal remedies and a few pharmaceuticals i tried over a few months
5:52 AM
Ugh I'll probably do that
5:52 AM
lol
5:52 AM
i remember she hated it a lot
5:52 AM
cuz she would drink it a few hrs later and said it tasted horrible
5:53 AM
i thought it tasted fine
5:53 AM
then i figured it was probably from sitting... and yup, that tasted horrible

5:56 AM
To eliminate fully
6:00 AM
who knows if it's more effective with a meal.. for real, i'd do like 3 days, maybe even 4, trying to do with the stronk morning stuff.
6:00 AM
Just 1 dose a day?
6:00 AM
i mean like most of em
6:00 AM
i will say though
6:00 AM
gandhi style could be more effective now that you ask
6:01 AM
like just morning for like a week might even be better
6:01 AM
however i think the threshold slightly matters based off my experience with the artemesia annua
6:01 AM
cuz i would also have like some tinctures of those over 2 or 3 days
6:02 AM
Ahh yea
6:02 AM
and the only time it worked was when i had a lot
6:03 AM
heh
6:03 AM
even then there were still stragglers
6:03 AM
So do alongside a parasite cleanse basically
6:04 AM
Multiple times prolly
6:04 AM
i think the urine alone is incredibly effective
6:04 AM
Fuck it I'll drink piss every morning for the rest of my life
6:04 AM
i talked to someone else who was struggling with them for a while, i think he got them while traveling, and he decided to do a parasite cleanse
6:04 AM
For health
6:04 AM
after i had told them that the urine was more than enough
6:04 AM
and i think it was just like, a month more of having em lol
6:05 AM
he kind of went away, even though he was pretty thankful and excited at first that they were finally identified, i think he even wanted to start a facebook group
6:06 AM
the guy i learned that from i think said the rumble in the stomach it causes eased away after a few weeks of drinking it every morning, granted he also does fasting
6:06 AM
My case may be fairly bad
6:06 AM
But improving
6:06 AM
Mine got me anemia
6:06 AM
oh yea, that's like the telltale for em
6:07 AM
I had an intestinal incident a few months ago that exacerbated the issue a lot
6:07 AM
i talked to this other dude who lost like 70 lbs from em over 2 years, was like this tall athletic guy who was confused and depressed why he was becoming skin and bones
6:08 AM
Yea I lost 10 before figuring it out
6:08 AM
the funny thing is that the mod of the /r/parasite sub is a total academia bootlicker, so it can be hard for people to ask questions, and ofc he bans people who'd mention natural remedies

6:09 AM

6:09 AM
ive seen him gaslight a ton of people who definitely had flukes from photos, until i pretty much shamed him real hard a few months ago and started my own sub lol
6:10 AM
that subs like dead tho now because he makes people do identification based off a textbook i think, which is fair i'll be honest, however it didnt have anything resembling the macroscopic aspect for liver flukes, which i think is why i also got so much of a response when i first explained to them how i cured em
6:11 AM
How big is your sub so far
6:12 AM
i think there's one fluke post on there from like 2 months ago where he started that rule and deleted i think most the old posts, i may have changed his ways slightly cuz i made him look kind of silly over dms lol *(and a few posts publicly) (edited)
6:12 AM
there's like 5 subscribers.. tbh it was pretty much after it was all said and done

One of my old professors at Vermont tech works at https://leddynamics.com/ that have built things used in airplane cockpits. Dimming an LED using Pulse-Width Modulation is super bad if you are in a plane cockpit at night, but the circuitry to control amperage based dimming is more complex and expensive, so it tends to be avoided entirely in consumer grade hardware. I think the owner of the company has patents on that tech too IIRC. They call it a 'puck' https://leddynamics.com/buckpuck-302xd In the case of digital clocks, its actually a way to avoid having to have multiple drivers for each LED, instead they just use one driver and switch the LED being fired really quickly. It's a cost savings measure to reduce the number of chips needed, or in the case of all-in-one circuits, the cost of fabricating silicon. (edited)

Nice! I suspect neuronal signaling issues tied to gaba/glutamate might be seizures. And this came out recently that suggests some of the psychedelic effects are from neuronal circuits over firing. https://quantamagazine.org/a-math-theory-for-why-people-hallucinate-20180730/ with a model that suggests a lot of the effects are how the brain interprets high level noise. Would be interested in seeing the EEG output.
Psychedelic drugs can trigger characteristic hallucinations, which have long been thought to hold clues about the brain’s circuitry. After nearly a century of study, a possible explanation is crystallizing.

In M.S. theres a theory that Microglia may act in reverse and add myelin onto a neuronal sheeth if electrical leakage is high. So I try to front load cholesterol in my diet and activate neuron pathways that I suspect are glitching. It seems to be a subset of theories on neural plasticity, so have been looking at psychedelics because they all seem to be serotonin analogs.
10:18 PM
many of the dietary regimines for M.S. involve some kind of psychedelic combined with improved blood flow. Stamet's protocol seems to work for me, but I use serotonin production via gut bacteria instead of a psychoactive component.

@UltimApe You asked if I have it in my blog. Do you mean the ideas on seizures? I’ve mentioned it a few times. The most clear time I’ve claimed this may be in the Noopept 2D vision article. But I’ve gone really deep into related glutamate/seizure/psychedelia topics like in Cognitive Atomization/Desummation. Also Flicker talks about how strobing is related to psychedelic effects, attempting to explain how fractals, time dilation and other effects work on the chemical level. If you are asking if I talk about myelination and microglial, no unfortunately I haven’t yet.

They think that the songs playing in grocery stories are being planted on purpose by some entity to taunt them. The problem is they are genuinely like 160+ iq. They're so smart, they can rationalize and come up with plausible reasons why it is true. The trouble seems to be they are unwilling to consider other possibilities. I'm always doubting my own thinking so I don't really feel that, but I can kinda imagine what that might be like. (edited)

When I stay up a long time to try and fix my sleep, I start hallucinating and babbling and get very incoherent. Caffeine actually helps when I'm like that. Finding ties between gut microbiota and circadian rhythms that suggest they might be interacting in that space, particularly with how they produce dopamine and serotonin, and help regulate melatonin and cortisol. I find it interesting that many psychotic breaks occur after large bouts of stress, or after an infection. Both of those would disrupt gut microbes in a vary similar manner. Coffee and cigarretes seem to be a a common self-medication, and so i'm looking at choline + vagus nerve as a possible mediator.
12:47 AM
Recent studies indicate that the vagus nerve (which is the longest of the cranial nerves and innervates most of the peripheral organs) can modulate the immune response and control inflammation through a 'nicotinic anti-inflammatory pathway' dependent on the α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR). https://www.nature.com/articles/nrd1797
But people aren't looking at this in a meaningful way right now with microbiome research (at least in schizophrenia) despite the gut-brain axis being fundamentally about vagus nerve signaling.

I believe that nicotine and coffee can be some of the causes
12:49 AM
NAch alpha7 reduces activity of a hallucinogenic system that is central to stress responses
12:50 AM
But nicotine use actually increases this activity and part of the withdrawal symptoms are due to this system. It is the dynorphinergic/kappa opioid system

I'm thinking that there's a homeostatic feedback loop going on that changes the expression of the receptors. So coffee can help it if its low, but too much would drive loss of receptors.

12:54 AM
Dynorphin blocks NMDAr
12:54 AM
And stimulates KOR, like salvia
12:55 AM
Basically it seems if glutamate and dopamine are too stimulated, then dynorphin comes and stops prefrontal cortex function along with maybe other cortical functions. Then the amygdala becomes more stimulated
12:56 AM
It can help stop seizures but it seems to produce psychosis

So during sickness it will probably increase, make you anhedonic, dysphoric, and possibly delirious/psychotic

It also makes you turn hungrier

So maybe gut bacteria could hijack this

Direct modulation of gut microbiota by luminal release of neurotransmitters. In addition to CNS-induced changes in the intestinal microbial environment (e.g. by influencing regional transit and secretions), the host neuroendocrine system can communicate with the microbiota more directly via intraluminal release of host signaling molecules, including but not limited to catecholamines, 5-HT, dynorphin, and cytokines, from neurons, immune cells, and ECCs (151, 152). The CNS likely modulates this process(153-155). Epinephrine and norepinephrine are demonstrated to increase the virulence properties of several enteric pathogens as well as non-pathogenic microbes via stimulation of native quorum sensing mechanisms (156-160). Other gut microbes contain sequences which share 24-42% identity to human genome sequences for the binding sites of melatonin(161), whose gut luminal concentrations have been reported at more than ten-fold serum concentrations in rats and pigs (162, 163). In vitro assays of one such microbe, Enterobacter aerogenes, demonstrate that melatonin not only induces swarming and motility behavior but helps synchronize circadian period and phase across culture plates(161). The gut microbiota exhibit circadian rhythmicity in both abundance and expression in a manner dependent on the host and its behavior, especially feeding timing, and simulated jet-lag shifts composition enhancing dysbiosis (164). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcmgh.2018.04.003

It depends
1:11 AM
It can have dual actions on NMDAr

It seems to depend on glycine levels
1:12 AM
Also dynorphin can displace glycine from the NMDAr
1:12 AM
When it does this, that’s probably when dynorphin is an agonist
1:12 AM
When it binds to NMDAr main site then it’s probably antagonist

Yes, my dynorphin theory post is an argument that dynorphin is linked to the symptoms of schizophrenia. It is also observed to be increased in schizophrenia.
1:20 AM
All systems are probably “indirect” also

Also dynorphin suppresses dopamine release, potentiates D2 dopamine receptors, blocks NMDAr, reduces glutamate release

Looks like thre are a lot of behaviors that might be stemming from homeostasis. Dehydration would bias an animal toward not fighting/running but hiding instead. https://jhu.pure.elsevier.com/en/publications/kappa-opiate-receptors-inhibit-release-of-oxytocin-from-the-magno-4 also stuff about fear memories. https://www.jneurosci.org/content/32/27/9335 I know a bit about fear memory changes thru other pathways, so this looks like an inroad I might be able to use to learn more.

I have a suspicion that biasing towad fighting depends on latent levels of oxytocin. If a member of a pack is dehydrated and alone -> hide. If they are happy and among kin -> minor disinhibition of oxytocin would be countered by the oxytocin of having friends around and would join in fighting instead. Its basic risk-reward decision making. Suggests dynorphin, or an analog, would show up in swarming insects.

1:27 AM
The actual decision points would be variable depending on signals from gut bacteria, as well as genetic tuning and epigenetic expression. E.g. a predator would have a different bias toward fighting vs a prey animal.
1:28 AM
At least that's what my intuition suggests. Loosely looking it up, it matches that mental model. That it plays a role in opioid system is important too since that seems to be the core of actual behavioral responses to thing like alcohol and eating, with dopamine/serotonin acting less directly.

If dynorphins seem to react like cytokines, presumably the reverse could be true and cytokines could be inducing the same symptoms? if you've got a mast cell problem, it might be tied to that indirectly. Just a thought. Ruling out dynorphin increases would be the first step I think. Tho if it's a brain thing, it may not show up in the blood ,which is why I asked about tests for it.

in some cases sibo is a result of acid imbalance driven by H pylori infection. Increase acidity and resveratrol can help.

H pylori is common in schizophrenic, autisitc, and diabetic guts.

My mom's main problem is a pain disorder. I managed to knock out the pain receptors in my mouth with topical CBG. I could chew on pepper and not feel a thing. TRPV1 is responsible for a lot of inflammatory response from capsacin, and CBG seems to downregulate the receptor.

Been trying ot figure out what causes her pain. I think its a mix of overactive TRPV1 receptor creation and activity, combining with low anandamine production (natural anti inflammatory). Curcumin, piperine and a couple others all enhance anandamide (and by association THC) via endocannabinoid system.

A lot of ancinet cultures used young cannabis sprouts and hemp seeds as analgesics. It's the part of the plant with the most of amount of CBG because at it grows it turns into the other cannabinoids. It's basically the plant's defense mechanism against disease and bacteria in the soil.

The development of antagonists of the transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) channel as pain therapeutics has revealed that these compounds cause hyperthermia in humans.

Dopamine is technically neurotoxic. Water is toxic in enough quantities (unrelated to drowning) I calculated the LD50 of bathwater a while back.
"Water is considered one of the least toxic chemical compounds, with an LD50 of over 90 ml/kg in rats." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication 1 gal is approx. 3790ml average adult rat is 0.227kg 1 gal can kill ~185/2 rats average bath uses ~20 gal of water LD50 of water = 1850 rats per bath.

The sodium brain thing is a short term effect and it's more about rate-of-change of sodium one way or another. "Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome". Tho long term salt weirdness is also problematic. Hyponatremia is a huge problem in older populations https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5694198/ and may be tied to delerium states https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5273588/ I think kidney failure and congestive heart failure can cause it too.
Decreased serum sodium concentration is a rather frequent electrolyte disorder in the elderly population because of the presence of factors contributing to increased antidiuretic hormone, the frequent prescription of drugs associated with hyponatremia ...
Hyponatremia and delirium are frequent problems in older hospitalized patients. Although confusional states are considered to be a possible complication of hyponatremia, there has been no systematic study to date of the precise prevalence of delirium ...

It needs to be understood by all who take hallucinogens that an Overly Intense Trip is absolutely not a "bad trip". That nothing can go wrong except if you want it to go wrong and make it go wrong. The only "wrong" could be if the person tripping is psychotic, thus a "Psychotic Trip"; wanting to harm themselves.

And one of my friends had full on psychedelic psychosis or what some would like to call ""excited delirium""; he was suicidal flailing around on the floor babbling nonsense, we ended up bringing him to a hospital because we did not want to risk anything. I was on 230mcg when this happened
12:49 AM
So I am very much aware of what can go wrong and how very badly
12:50 AM
He has not fully recovered years later
12:52 AM
Good point though about trauma.
12:54 AM
But the only asterisk to what I said would be if you are on a hallucinogen around shit that is fucked up, amplifying it though it's independent from the hallucinogen.

Otherwise the potential trauma is caused by the meme of "bad trips", people's lack of understanding. The Tibetan Book of the Dead adapted by Timothy Leary is marvelously eye opening.

If you end up having weird thinking problems with that diet, try some more fats in the morning with the shake. I find that I don't function well even in ketosis if I don't also consume fats in the morning. I've been using ghee, but MCT oil seems to also work.

@Lavencia Mostly that vegetarian diets are low in taurine and that coincides with weird problems in heart health. I think that is still approximately true, but don't think the mechanism is as direct as people let on (which is why I'm exploring taurine there). I mostly did a quick look at the ingredients and didn't see much in the way of things to produce bile acid for processing the fats. Was thinking about these https://www.are.na/self-exploration/bile-salts-bile-acid which is upstream of taurine by way of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bile_acid#Structure_and_synthesis Tho it's possible I overlooked other ways of making bile that might be covered.

Assumption is you're aiming for a vegetarian keto. That's what it looks like to me. I know a bunch of people who's psychosis symptoms have improved with that style, but normally its geared for carnivore. Been trying to find good examples of vegetarian options and bile production is one of the factors I try to pay attention to when judging.
Biochemical and physiological evidence in favor of a GI etiology for psychiatric illness has been accumulating more or less continuously since 1860 [32–35]. Such investigations included those of Herter (1907), who found indication of low stomach acid in patients with mental illness, along with bacterial putrefaction of various amino acids including tryptophan. One function of gastric juices is to maintain a proteolytic environment to enzymatically control proliferation of anaerobic bacteria to the small intestine and prevent the absorption of toxins. Herter’s findings have interesting physiological ramifications given that tryptophan and the other aromatic amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine are precursors of schizophrenia-relevant neurotransmitters including serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4437570/
Genetic and environmental studies implicate immune pathologies in schizophrenia. The body’s largest immune organ is the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Historical associations of GI conditions with mental illnesses predate the introduction of antipsychotics. ...

I can't speak to everyone's luck with lion's mane, but noticed I can get a lot more carbs before my breath ketone meter shows me being out of ketosis. I am already a bit of an outlier there tho, so YMMV. Cronometer is such a great tool!

Been kinda distant lately because of the winter messing me up. But I come bearing a weird idea. Anyone wanna try to get gut bacteria in the small intestine to produce B12? If so, when paired with liver production of glutathione, we might be able to avoid the need to eat vitamin C https://www.are.na/block/10088029 by mirroring what I think bears are doing to up-regulate Vitamin C during hibernation. B12 problems are all over the map when it comes to mental & health issues. So this might be worth trying even if not aiming for vitamin C recycling. So far the only thing I have on my radar is a weird tradition among some people from India consuming cow urine. I'd rather not. Sharing this in a couple of my chats to see if any one has ideas.

I'm actually thinking that there is something related to this process in the space of autism / ehler-danlos that is tied to mitochondrial function and want to explore it more directly. B12 being low in many neurodegenerative disorders that manifest with collagen problems and bone problems, as well as generalized fatigue has me interested in the space around glutathione (kideny function) & vitamin C.

@Deleted User That is not a pure Muscimol extract. Those are dry Amanita Pantherina mushrooms which contain high levels of Ibotenic Acid even when decarboxylated properly which is quite neurotoxic.
12:37 AM
Pantherina contains much higher levels of Ibotenic Acid than Muscaria does.
12:41 AM
Ibotenic Acid is decarboxylated into Muscimol which is awesome stuff. However even with Muscaria which has much lower levels it is basically impossible to decarb all of the Ibotenic Acid into Muscimol without lab equipment to create a true distillate.

yeah but it also has equally higher levels of muscimol, its just more potent meaning you take less. Otherwise there is no evidence that the relevant levels of ibotenic acid are neurotoxic when orally ingested. (edited)

Those are Psychotria Colorata aka Humo. A dissociative opioid used natively in South America. It contains Hodgkinsine an nmda antagonist and U-opioid agonist as well as Psychotidrine an nmda antagonist. I'm just making sure you know about Ibotenic Acid. You're almost certainly not going to cause any significant or noticeable damage if even any damage at all from taking it multiple times.

I cannot take clonazepam once without extreme anxiety. That happened to me before I tried veganism. It was when I was paleo even. Also phenibut was bad when I was paleo too. I couldn’t even drink half a beer without feeling like my anxiety is worse for weeks. Now, I will say this wasn’t really present when I first tried alcohol or phenibut. But after using phenibut more and using tianeptine a lot, now I seem to more quickly reach negative comedowns. (edited)

You may also wonder why there are alt right shamans. You shouldn’t conclude that psychedelics make everyone believe in alt right ideologies. The reality is that deviating from social conventions will tend to cluster together. Those who are willing to break social rules are, well, willing to break social rules. This could mean being outcast, it could mean being a sociopath, it means spooky ideas like flat earth, alt right, drug use, and any other form of rule breaking will cluster together because the precursor is the willingness to deviate from social norms
5:34 PM
And my diet doesn’t make me feel spiritual. My inclination towards this diet is because I don’t wish for animals to be harmed unnecessarily and also I wish to reduce the load on the environment.

even people who are pretty darn knowledgeable about the topic are dismissive of it, and i think a large reason for it is because the simplicity and effectiveness of these guys' other framework is enough to make their jobs a lot harder, and beginners would be able to learn in ways more independently of their instruction, so they sort of intentionally dismiss it out of realization...

However I have had rather bad Xanax addictions a few times which took greatly extreme mental & physical strength to break on my own.

Coming closer to the end of that semester I ran out of Oxycodone & began to run low on Hydrocodone (saving enough of both for very infrequent occasions each year for many..); nearing semester's end I was using up the last bit of Codeine.

Not to mention it's horrible for weight gain and things like diabetes. After experimenting with all kinds of drugs, and medications I ultimately think that we've largely got psychiatry wrong in most cases thinking people should take something every single day to feel better without looking at the long-term effects. A lot of these medications are addictive and have rebound therefore making it really hard to imagine coming off of. I think they should all be utilized as powerful tools with a strong case-management system for identifying triggers and relapses in problems. So, when I see that you're considering IV ketamine I think that is much more of a viable treatment option and something to keep up with.

Studied mice, who were exposed to a wider number of different opportunistic bacteria, were somewhat more adept at deciding whether to allow possible pathogens to cross the BBB. Some were held in captivity in a close-to-sterile environment and were not incubated / bathed in the vaginal secretions of their mother just after birth, so their microbiome (in nose, mouth, other mucosa and stomach/offal) comprised of fewer opportunistic (often gram-negative bacilliform) bacteria.

I just woke up from Olanzapine coma and I got an uncontrollable urge to eat. Eating urges come from H1 inverse agonism and 5-ht2c inverse agonism. Olanzapine is one of those drugs of doom but I feel like I must take it, because otherwise I feel like I'm about to implode. The problem is that I feel shitty and I know very well what recreational drugs would instantly cure that. But, I also know that brain's negative feedback loops would upregulate causing drug addiction and even shittier feelings. I feel so crippled and weak. No action I take makes any difference, there is only negative reinforcement. I can only avoid things that I know are harmful. Back to Olanzapine, It has no significant alpha adnergic affinity, hence one of the best anti psychotic. I get significant dysphoria from risperidone, quetiapine, levomephromazine, and perphenazine. They are potent alpha 1 antagonists. Alpha 1 antagonists expand blood vessels in nose, causing inability breath through nose. It is the most horrible feeling ever forced to be a mouthbreather.

All through residency, I kept hearing “nobody really knows why clozapine is so great” or “it probably has something to do with its weak D2 binding affinity or something”. If we knew it was just because clozapine was an antipsychotic plus glycine, we could just give people an antipsychotic plus glycine, and avoid the agranulocytosis, metabolic syndrome, seizures, myocarditis, eosinophilia, etc. This theory isn’t ready for prime time yet; it’s still not really proven that the NMDA agonists work for schizophrenia at all. And it probably never will be – it’s hard to patent these chemicals, meaning that it would take extreme creativity to jump the bureaucratic hurdles necessary to get them into the pharmacopoeia. Until that happens, using these chemicals will remain experimental, and replacing clozapine with them downright irresponsible.

The thing is, I don't have schizophrenia. In finland antipsychotics are used off label for everything, including anxiety. Qwerky science blog explains how dynorphin can unite all theories of schizophrenia. Dynorphin is nmdar antagonist and that's why nmda activation helps with schizophrenia.

Although there might be things we label as schizophrenia that have different mechanisms fwiw. I argue that dynorphin helps to explain many links to schizo

It's a recommendation as of last result because it can be addictive, but its typically legal and manageable. Just you will not have a fun time discontinuing it. If it is illegal, stay the hell away from it. But like I can order a kilo of it for ~$100 in the States.
6:31 PM
There's also tianepetine which I wouldn't dare try because I know I would end up in a fate worse than death, but if it were prescribed and taken as prescribed would be ideal. Anything above prescribed and you're in something well beyond hell. That's the problem with drugs, even pharmaceutical ones, they all have limits and aren't carefully followed and respected as the deadly things they are will ruin your life. My hat's off to you if you can do it without all of them which besides buprenorphine is what I do now. I tend to do a lot of meditation, try to eat and drink healthier, exercise... All of the stuff your typical health class would tell you to do but I refused to do for a long time. Or if I wanted to be more practical, buproprion (wellbutrin) is a decent one to give a shot. Just that olanzapine was totally wrong in your case IMO. (edited)

I would love to try psychedelics. Atypical antipsychotics are 5-ht2a antagonists or inverse agonists and they are not helping, they are making things worse, so trying opposite action would be very interesting.

I got really emotional over something that happened tonight, and I thought my DMT pipe was empty long ago and quickly ended up in hyperspace with some new knowledge that pulled me out of it.

@niquil as for legal opioids there's also Akuamma seed powder which has stronger visual effects and physical effects onpar with Kratom. Black Caraway feels like a light dose of Codeine or Tianeptine.

Some people only gets visual effects from psychedelic hallucinogens. I get them from many things from dissociative hallucinogens to most stronger stimulants as well as opioids. Not necessarily very strong visual effects though.

The closest I've seen to that is on a low dose of hydrocodone or codeine. And it's minimal. Kinda reminds me of spacing out like nutmeg.

Alkaloids obtained from colorata leaf and flowers of this species showed a marked dose-dependent naloxone-reversible analgesic activity, therefore suggesting an opioid-like pharmacological profile. it is one of the best pain killers, it has the ability to combat chronic pains to make you feel cool and good relaxation. Psychotria Viridis: Effects...
11:25 AM
best I can find, but that looks ugly.
11:27 AM
"To further understand the mechanism of analgesic activity and structural requirements of pyrrolidinoindoline alkaloids identified in Psychotria colorata, we here report the analgesic activity of the trimer hodgkinsine on thermal and chemical models of analgesia. Results show that hodgkinsine produces a dose-dependent naloxone reversible analgesic effect in thermal models of nociception, suggesting that activation of opioid receptors participates in hodgkinsine's mode of action. Hodgkinsine shows a potent dose-dependent analgesic activity against capsaicin-induced pain, indicating the participation of NMDA receptors in hodgkinsine-induced analgesia. Such a dual mechanism of action may be of interest for developing innovative analgesics." Interesting.

It's in the same family of Psychotria plants as Psychotria Viridis which is traditionally the dmt plant in Ayawaska.

It contains chimonanthine too which is broken down into micro dose or light dose amounts of alphamethyltryptamines
11:34 AM
Hodgkinsine and Psychotidrine are the primary alkaloids though

Not really though. LSD is far more potent than DMT by weight. With smoked DMT the duration is very short so it's much easier to take an extreme dose.

I wonder how bad pregabalin + tramadol overuse over the course of 2021 is?
7:15 PM
so, here's my thoughts
7:15 PM
pregabalin prevents excitatory synapses from forming while active (edited)
7:16 PM
and k-opioid activity of tramadol synergizes to wreck havoc
7:16 PM
but the counter to this is
7:18 PM
tramadol activity is too low a dose, where the pro-plastic activity of the serotonin reuptake overshadows the k-opioid activity still (depends on individual metabolism i guess) (edited)
7:19 PM
and the blockage of excitatory synapses only really hurts learning and re-learning some aspects of memories that were activated
7:19 PM
so, all in all, not too bad I reckon
7:21 PM
I guess the only way to know the extent is to measure some phenotype
7:21 PM
and do a before and after
7:22 PM

What's you guys' thoughts on Terrence McKenna? I'd been familiar with him for a little under a decade now but never really took him on because I just chalked it up to woo stuff. I've been listening to recorded talks and conversations of him to sleep for a month thus far. (I usually listen to random podcasts or lectures to fall asleep to) I realized something, I love this guy. I don't care about his justifications for his experiences that breeds the ideas whatsoever. What I love is the willingness to throw out some out-there ideas and perspectives, it's quite entertaining I'd found. I always loved those sorts of, faux explanations to theories people had. Added an atmosphere of mystery and wonder to it. I might be even considering his ideas sincerely, I think part of me want to take a chance and just say screw articulate empirical logic. He's articulate, he isn't very empirical, but he is logical a lot of the times for his out there premises. But not always logical from what I'd heard, but no one ever is. I like ballsy theorists. Makes for entertaining thought experiments and consumption on my part. (edited)

What if the propensity to unleash pandemics upon other overly ‘monocropped’ species has evolved like the way flammability has evolved? It has been said recently that humans pushing onto nature is a contributing factor for the ongoing pandemic. Perhaps when species like bats harbor various dangerous contagious pathogens it may help to maintain ecosystems from total collapse by annihilating some of the species that has become too prevalent. This could be a kind of anti-homogenization mechanism for ecosystems, much like the role of fires. Such systems like this would certainly outlive a system without such mechanics. By hosting contagions, an organism can weed out invasive species that are colonizing the ecosystem. In the case of the ongoing pandemic, it has been argued that human farming and land use has increased the risks of exposure to pandemic contagions like we face today. This idea isn’t new, as it has been argued that the loss of biodiversity should give rise to zoonotic diseases even 6 years earlier (Morand et al 2014). It could be that zoonotic illness leads to increased biodiversity and helps check overpopulating species that further induce a loss of biodiversity. In this case, ecosystems that have zoonotic illnesses may outlive ecosystems without such illnesses. As one redditer put it: in the same way the body produces antibodies to fight off infections, the ecosystems produce viruses to fight off overgrowths of species that become too prevalent. Could a Gaia immune system have evolved?

Look in front of you. In those separate objects, you see features. The edges of one object contrasting the next object. Distance, shadows, colour, edges etc. You can maybe feel the texture of one object in your view. Another separation from those previous features. It may also make a sound upon striking it. Yet another feature. Now, imagine your entire perspective was a blocked by a huge flat red that surrounded your entire field of view. No shadows or depth either. There are no discernable objects within the red. That's what reality is, there are no boundaries between any feature, there isn't even change. It's all the same thing. Not connected, because to separate isn't even something possible outside your hallucination. No single entity is permanent, but it is all permanent if that even makes sense. The unreal is impermanent, your experience is impermanent because it is unreal. In the real, the "sound" is no different from the "shadow" to the "smell". The "feature" is empty, has no essence. That is what is there.

The thing is, I don't actually think of things like "reality", rather it's more just another existence. We are what we are, it isn't untrue, just a variation. Sometimes I wonder if there really is only these 2. (edited)

I think all these entities are manifestations of "minds" imbedded in extremely compressed forms in our genetic code and our culture is the environment that allows the ones that are here, like egos, to emerge.

I think this might basically depend on where our attention goes. Attending to usual things might lead to observing amplification and hyper focus on those recognized things. You can also pay attention to reality without automatically recognizing things. It’s almost like breaking the addiction to the ways we usually process reality. Here’s from a post about attention and mechanisms of psychedelics: In recent posts, I’ve posited that (serotonergic) psychedelics may work by deconditioning our attention, freeing us so that we can attend to things in abnormal ways, including memories, perceptions, and the way we filter our reality based on prior experiences. The way we perceive reality may depend heavily on conditioned use of attention to memories, external stimuli, and beliefs about reality. The psychedelic drugs might disrupt recall of conditioned responses which allows these radically different ways of perceiving the world. This can be very useful to show people the ways that they have been dissociated and also show us that we can perceive reality in numerous alternative ways just by paying attention to the details of reality differently. Our ordinary perception of the world is like a connect-the-dots game in which we learned which dots to pay attention to and specific ways of connecting the dots. Psychedelics essentially allow us to pay attention to dots without our usual priority, allowing new ways of building a reality perception to emerge. https://mad.science.blog/2021/09/16/attention-as-the-mechanism-of-dissociation/
We often view dissociation as a sort of state in which we lose connection to things we are usually aware of. Dissociation could be defined as subtraction of subjective experience (or potentially al…
3:32 PM
If you look at this post, consider the section about dissociative drugs and how immersion plays into their mechanisms. I think psychedelics similarly allow immersion into aspects of reality in novel ways. Like you can dissociate from the ego by paying attention to sensory perception in an immensely immersive way.

I suspect there could be many consciousnesses inside of our brain. Split brain might reveal that. I think some part of our brain speaks and we assume this part is us. I think it’s possible there are other separate consciousnesses. Maybe there are also nonconscious aspects too.

To use a metaphor, I was viewing the ego as a puppet to a greater system with very specific and intense effect on it. So anthropomorphizing it would be wrong since its intent is being controlled by something distinctly non-human. But upon reflection, it's probably a bidirectional relationship, where it affects the system as well, influencing its relationship to it in very human ways, so anthropomorphising it would not be an issue. But all this is just me trying to reason out a sort of internal simulation of how it would work, I can't say anything too much about the real. (edited)

Same, I think the one we actually are might be positioned within the brainstem, while others are part of the more recent parts of our brain.

I have a theory of what a "reward" is to a human. It's some form of being closer to breaking down subjective boundaries (in the more abstract sense) Now this part of the theory is a little out there, it's on the level of the subjective, the biological co-opted the direction of entropy on that level to self-sustain on the biological level.

One way to short circuit this is via extremely intense pain in a helpless state where the subject accepts and allows the pain.
11:03 PM
One of the most intense forms of boundary dissolution manifests this way imo
11:04 PM
Because during almost torturous pain, and knowing how to let go from psychedelic use, I experienced one more intense than smoked 5-meo-dmt could provide (not to say that this isn't extremely intense)
11:07 PM
Although... while maintaining a separate existence once on 5-meo, I was able to articulate what I was experiencing to myself, witnessing everything, which took on the shape of a concaved cylinder I think (edited)

Actually, during both experiences I was able to be massive existences, 5-meo focused more on earthly existences while during the pain, it was more on galactic sizes, and comets etc

You have to force new ideas by talking alout to yourself and then you can come up with new goals. You really need to have a to do list or list of tasks in your mind becuse without goals you'll get stuck to stupid things.

Felt like the front of my face was caved in from the pressure of witnessing a white hole or something and I felt the immense and intense pressure of the void flooding in and holding my mind down and empty, like only the tiniest light of an observer remaining, like witnessing a type of dramatization of an ego death. It was sort of an ego death as I felt my thoughts, my mind, my being desecrated and hallowed out. It was really intense and in some ways agony, but also something about giving and being held down also felt really good in a sex kinda way lol. (edited)

12:53 AM
I think the reason I dreampt it was because I have an exam today and I’m really stressed, so I woke up in the middle of the night and responded to a friends message on discord which involved some discussion of managing ego. Then I went immediately to sleep and had some crazy af dreams. There was a lot more to the dream, like how the situation of my mind imploding on itself even came to be (something about accidentally uniting these ancient Christian artifacts and being abducted by someone in search of them), as well as I had a bunch of other delusions like the house full of people screaming and yelling it was not the greatest dream. Glad it happened tho, very interesting!!!! The demon I’ve seen in a dream before, they’re the one pulling the strings behind all the bad whenever things keep going wrong.

I think Id come across some youth utopia in the woods behind the neighborhood after having moved to a new house, some pools in the middle of nowhere full of kids hidden away from the adult world, but then they'd found something just a little deeper into those woods .. ... I think that dream ended with a scorched wasteland, giant lovecraftian monsters roaming the valley, lighting across the sky, the ground being turned into mountainous piles of runestones (and I had to search through them like Sisyphus for the right one to end the chaos and save this alien ice girl Id done things earlier in the pool with), and the kids gone mad turned against eachother and armed with alien weapons and artifacts - the demon only confronted us as the perpetrator of the chaos and I'd had to negotiate with them to return things to normal .. which they did, while few were left, the land was as if nothing had happened .. though there was a shed full of artifacts we had to agree never to touch (which most of the kids must have went and grabbed from as soon as we left since I went back to check later and they were all gone except a paper dragon which I took to help me cook at the family restaurant which would've been the next part of the dream if I hadnt woke up lol) (edited)

It reminds me of little nightmares 2
2:05 AM
My dream from last night: There was a chase scene involving tunnels and a giant worm. One part of the tunnel had other people and a car. At some earlier point I think Mario and Luigi were here. They became generic people later. Another part of the tunnel led into a mall. Or at least staircases based on malls. There were glass panels coming up between every few stairs, as if the stairs were closed off. We had to jump over these. At some point we lost the worm in the part of the tunnel with the car. Previously, I had run this worm chase many times and didn’t realize we could lose the worm this way. Some nude girl was with us. She threw pots onto the stairs to draw the attention of the worm. The music from Little Nightmares 2 would play when the worm got closer. The dream felt physically exhausting. Before this worm chase, there was some television show that had comedians. On this show, a giant dog monster burst through the walls. Even before this part, I remember a forestry field area that seemed connected with buildings. The song that played was the part starting at 2 mins https://open.spotify.com/track/6irSpAUxidGr63f9M0dI4o?si=GiS0wkA5SYSUjnWWoCPmqQ (edited)

@Deleted User @qwerkyscience Asenapine has so far been the best substance for inducing nightmares for me. The feeling of head exploding and small black holes tearing me apart is quaranteed with Asenapine. 2.5mg is the best dose for this purpose, anything higher blocks too much dopamine. 5hta2 and 5ht2c antagonism seem to contribute to higher dream intensity. 5-ht6 and D3 antagonism disinhibits acetylcholine, which is required for dreaming. Quetiapine blocks mAchr1,3,5 and it reduces dreaming providing deeper sleep.

One of my friend lacks enthusiasm for new stuff that he hasn't done already so Methylphenidate does't help that much. Lisdexamphetamine(Vyvanse, Elvanse) works better for him but even that isn't quite enough. Perhaps good old D-amph would help him but that was made unavailable as soon as the more expensive, patented Lisdexamph got its lisence.

It feels like you're dreaming. I'd argue that my dreaming mind and waking mind are quite different. And it'd activate that version of me, and that subjective feeling I get when looking at things in a dream emerge. irl, most things are ignored in my home, my eyes just move over them without my attention. During a psychedelic trip, these things look like it's the first time I'm seeing everything. On agomelatine, it feels like neither, it feels like the subjective feeling of a dream. My "dream mind" is similar to my mind on codeine when out in public, and on agomelatine, it's like that. Although, much more lucid. Depends if it makes me sleepy or not. If I use it closer to a bedtime I have been sticking to previously, it'll make it less lucid and more like the former "minds".

On the sociopathy post, I think intentional covert sadism is something endogenous to everyone from a certain perspective. More, it seems like a lack of capacity for empathy wrt the other's position. I mean for "obviously" absurd hysteria and reactions to the most benign things, and us thinking they are overly sensitive and have thin skin. People crying over religious tales, and getting offended by attacks on their legitimacy directed at them. Even things like scientology perhaps. Anything really. All our lack of empathy for their positions where they truly believe in them, so it makes you wonder, what is justified and what is not? Either way, the other person is still hurt. Sometime, the covert sadism might be part of this https://www.degruyter.com/view/journals/lpp/4/2/article-p241.xml?tab_body=abstract (edited)
No Aggression, Only Teasing: The Pragmatics of Teasing and Banter A bone of contention among researchers is whether the primary function of humour is the expression of aggression against the hearer or the promotion of solidarity between the interlocutors.

Just a funny take, take some ghb and you might be capable to feel empathy towards even the most absurd sensitivities.
10:18 PM
Consider, if I were to reciprocate the aggression by trying to trigger both of these individuals in an equivalently emotionally arousing way, I would likely seem like an asshole to the group, particularly if I trigger them by using commonly held triggers that are ubiquitous among the others in the chat. This is because the others in the group will empathize and relate to being triggered in those ways and not empathize or relate to being triggered via exposure to subtler reminders of animal harm.
10:19 PM
there's a way to do it so that you don't come off as an asshole a lot of the time ime, but it requires us to laugh off their comment and then phrase your attack in a way that it's delivered to the person in question wrapped up in a way that the surrounding people likely don't catch on to its true harshness except for the recipient.

Man, I see so many people who don't identify as sadistic often display such sentiments or enjoy cheering on such things being carried out.
10:39 PM
It's also unfortunate personally that I have had perpetual sadistic instincts, also innocent playful teasing which I try to use as the main outlet as an adult occasionally. But it was never someone getting justified punishment, but rather a thrill in making someone feel pain, among other emotions. I felt bad about it and tried to repress it because I felt bad when it turned out making them feel worse than I expected. There's a spectrum and mine has a cut-off where I feel instinctively that it's an allowable amount of pain to inflict that'll lack long term negative consequences. Sometimes it was done because I wanted to expose them to it in a controlled environment and desensitize them to it in the wild. But I'd let them in on it after the fact. There's constant sadistic things I wish to tell people just to see if I can hurt them, but I hold it back all the time. Yet, I know it still slips out in impulsive moments occasionally.

Yess very much! I think what I’m describing is somewhat universal but the Reddit polarization is likely due to bringing up veganism and also using sensitive terms like sadism and sociopathy. People want to believe they are so in alignment with their utopian values and neglect that they can become angry lol.

It doesn't actually matter what causes their reaction tbh, it's only the reaction that elicits it. Even if they fake it. hmm, I never thought of this, maybe I should try roleplay of sadistic fantasies without any real pain whenever I ever get the opportunity.
7:18 AM
And when I want to inflict it, it's usually just to show off the cleverness in how I'm pulling it off rather than caring about the reaction in itself, just the level of reaction is a gauge to how effective it was. I avoid the ones that are over the line from my perspective, when I see someone genuinely disturbed, it makes me feel bad. It's easy to dehumanize them and not feel bad, but I rarely ever do that. I'd feel like shit for my worst enemy. I am conflicted whether this is a good thing or not. Because it had caused me a lot of pain from helping horrible people, but also is an important part in the mechanism for not hurting my friends. (edited)

Normally I think we obsessively focus on a set of thoughts or ideas and are kind of confined to them. Psychedelics might cause us to think about different things and thus lead to new thoughts because we are finally thinking in new territory. But humans are not good at thinking themselves into truths. We can observe that scientists fail all the time and they dedicate their lives to finding truths and even learn strategies for doing so. Humans on psychedelics are not necessarily granted sudden access to cultural knowledge about critical thought or the scientific method. So the ideas will likely not be very high quality unless a person is very well trained. It’s also possible that psychedelics would cause us to leave behind trained methods of insight.

So what is ego? Is it just the pattern of behaviors we've dedicated alot of mental resources to - grey matter allocated to processing - that we get energy conservant (defendant) about? Think about the study where they took scans of london taxi cab drivers brains - and they found that they all had similar changes in neural configuration .... if I were to threaten the value of their job, I am to threaten the time and energy put into their maps. "It cant be all for nothing" im sure the brain screams each time the ego is under attack .... The term ego is kinda archaic in that it refers to both the structures it identifies with (the networks representing the map of london, their shopping habits, or what contrived pathologies/set-of-behaviours we're capable of developing) AND the phenomena of it under attack. The term was invented before we really understood the deeper mechanics at play, as it really labels two things as one. Took a while to understand the ego cause of that. (edited)
5:52 AM
.... (my writing gets kinda disorganized after this point, sorry rip) Ego death is a momentary thing, not really a persistent state lest your a monk who literally does nothing their entire life. Anytime you learn anything or develop any kind of muscle memory - you've built ego. Ego death can be a 15 minute event (wile with DMT), or perhaps even as a waning thing, like the slow disappearance of the moon that can take place over the course of a month (maybe like learning meditation). I actually vaguely remember Jung talking about the importance of the ego. There's a time and a place for its death, but it absolutely exists for a reason. You can kill your ego, trim off the edges of the network for playing guitar, then relearn it better (cause it never fully died). Through relearning, you are given a chance to do things better. Like a phoenix reborn!!! You go through many moments of ego death - when your told your bad at something and scrap it to begin anew. Cycles of reincarnation, like the phoenix!!! Ego is identifying with something - with your habits, like your fondness of playing guitar - or of your property (like a waif lool) Is identifying with something - is it the assignment of your brain deciding it needs to try and keep that habit relevant? Where as if you no longer identify with something, the networks dedicate to it will wither (I bet) kinda fell apart near the end rip (edited)

Or that maybe it is the foundation for everything else in my life, the backbone or something (like how paul stamets knows about alot of different fields, but its their interest in mushrooms that tie it all together)? I fear some consequence to forgetting childhood pathologies. Maybe seeing god in all can be a replacement for seeing that childhood self in everything. .... religion will save me from my trauma .. .for my childhood self is encompassed in god, which I view as the model for the sum of all This last paragraph I am very uncertain of compared to the rest of what I was saying, which I think has some truth, that I just struggle to articulate what it is (edited)

In 1968, Merzenich and two neurosurgeons, Ron Paul and Herbert Goodman, conducted an experiment to determine effects on the brain after a large bundle of peripheral nerves in adolescent monkeys' hands were cut and began to regenerate again.[3][4][5] They knew that the peripheral nervous system could regenerate itself and sometimes during that process the neurons would 'rewire' themselves by accident. These 'wires' would accidentally connect to a different axon, stimulating the wrong nerve. This resulted in a "false localization" sensation; when the patient was touched on a specific area of the body, that touch was actually felt on a different part of the body than expected.

Can’t joke about it with others, or talk to people who’ll re-assure them it’s all just bs. Everything becomes serious, especially in a situation where there’s millions of others exposed to the same thing in isolation. If you have friends, you can joke about how garbage what they’re teaching you in school is. If you don’t, your left to deal with that internally. Idk. (edited)

Hmm words can be pretty shallow inherently. I don’t tend to look at people like this as much anymore. Maybe some part of my mind does. But I am also having maybe a selection filter for the people I’m around too. I think humans are very similar to animals in their motivations and focuses tho.

I was putting some active thought into this the other day while writing hypnosis scripts. If you imagine somebody, and then imagine them feeling a certain way - with them exhibiting traits of that feeling - you end up feeling that way. I think, in totality, taking the perspective of others (such as how someone feels) requires us to recreate the feeling, and then attribute the feeling to something external. This may also explain why people's heart rates and breathing sync up as they bond together. (edited)

In social psychology, social loafing is the phenomenon of a person exerting less effort to achieve a goal when they work in a group than when working alone.

When meditating, I've noticed to get into a really deep state I've developed a tendency to try tune in on this strange perception basically Ill move my head side to side - and try and to infinitely slow that movement down till the point it feels like my heads like locked in on one axis and making really greased / lubricated movements Really weird, dont know to describe it any better
9:37 AM
Its like, my head starts to move insanely fluidly, like the degree of control I have becomes insanely narrow. Instead of existing in a space where my head turning range is 62 degrees wide and 16 positions within that space - my head turning range becomes only a few degrees and the positions I can place my head scaled down inside that. Moving in such a tiny space feels crazy fluid. Also I try to think back to how I felt on mushrooms - thats super useful, when combined with weed it can actually start make me tripping and seeing stuff like Im actually on mushrooms!! -Just by thinking about mushrooms!!
9:37 AM
The fluidness is kinda drunken in feeling - wobbly sorta loose feeling
9:38 AM
When I start to do this meditation while singing - my singing gets really good too - I think micro movements are more important for the song I like (edited)
9:40 AM
I dont usually continue to move my head and instead just focus on the feeling it produces separately instead. Though sometimes I move it again for some feedback if going deeper.
9:45 AM
I used the neck as an example cause its the easiest for me to notice first and tune into - but I end up feeling my whole body this way as I then begin to feel a sort of acceleration.
10:13 AM
Why is sleeping with your head back associated with hallucinations? Is it true that blood flows to the back of the brain and increases activity occipital lobe? What is the evolutionary reason people bow down to pray? Does this form of mediation increase blood flow to the PFC - is god associated with priorities and executive function?

my opinion is that a main message of most of the major world religions is sitting on your ass is a big no no
3:40 PM
but I guess that's based on passages of various texts where primarily the issue is that God predestines something to happen and the person don't wanna do it
3:41 PM
in which case the voices from god would actually be likely due to low PFC activation (correlate of psychosis) but presumably doing an activity requires executive function so god will leave you alone

... We propose that MPFC activity reflects monitoring of motivationally relevant variables (such as effort and reward), by coding expectations and discrepancies from such expectations. Moreover, we derive behavioral and neural model-based predictions for healthy controls and clinical populations with impairments of motivation. Second, we illustrate the possible translation to effort-based behavior of the HER model, an extended version of PRO model based on hierarchical error prediction, developed to explain MPFC–DLPFC interactions. We derive behavioral predictions that describe how effort and reward information is coded in PFC and how changing the configuration of such environmental information might affect decision-making and task performance involving motivation.

I experience this with cholinergics too. I’ve basically had psychotic effects after cytisine wears off. It’s a bit relieving to know it happens to others too. Though I’m sorry that you face an annoyance.
4:24 AM
This is why I’ve been proposing that nicotine’s connection to schizophrenia is not necessarily pure self-medication but also amplifying of the symptoms. Not too different from benzodiazepines being self-medication and simultaneously eventually resulting in serious amplification of symptoms

It’s curious that you notice this from anticholinergics as well. I’d like to hear more about this. I avoid those types of drugs because I’ve had gross lasting changes to my psych from relatively mild experiences.

I think it would be similar to how some users of stimulants become tired a lot despite the taking stimulants daily. I think this sort of thing happens with most repeated drug use.
7:27 PM
Idk it’s hard for me to assess what is really beneficial or not when it comes to drugs. Partly because it takes a long time before issues arise and the benefits still seem to exist when those problems arise but it might just be a the contrast from the peak of the dose to the crash.

Not really. You have to smoke 1 pack a day to show up as a cancer risk. I smoke 1 pack a week. Also you need 10 pack years, which is a pack a day for 10 years before it shows up doing damage. I’ve been smoking 1 pack a week for 10 years which means i have 60 years left. I don’t get a cough from it, and my lungs remain infection free

Cortical remapping, also referred to as cortical reorganization, is the process by which an existing cortical map is affected by a stimulus resulting in the creating of a 'new' cortical map. Every part of the body is connected to a corresponding area in the brain which creates a cortical map. When something happens to disrupt the cortical maps...

Vitamin D is supposed to be really good for energy

update after investigating this: It seems like the results are mixed. There's plenty of studies showing correlation with VidD deficiency, but I don't really consider that sufficient evidence to support supplementation. This one is my favorite, because it has a large sample size, and includes healthy people, and people with only daytime sleepiness and no other sleep disorders. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8666927/

hemoglobin A1C levels, the defacto measure, is a measure of levels over time - a sort of average that can be gleaned from acumulation of sugars on the heme (blood cells). its a shitty measurement if the problem is variability. High one moment and then low in the next would average out to "Normal". There is also a gene mutation tied to gout (uric acid) that makes high uric acid production even when A1C levels are "normal" and cause all the same kind of inflammation. Its really maddening. We can't get a real-time blood glucose meter to track this stuff for my GF until she gets to the point that she needs to take insulin.. but by that point her beta cells are already dead.
8:25 PM
Another fun one is that those finger tip SPO2 meters are known to fail with type II diabetics because the skin is thicker for some reason. So of course when the GF goes in to get a lung test, the lung specialist sees fine SPO2 and we can't convince them to order a blood O2 test. I've given up on doctors.
8:28 PM
They just follow procedure and best practice that is drilled into them. Nurses follow check lists. GF had a case of thrush in her troat recinetly. but she didn't have pain in it, so no one bothered to look and gave her meds that make thrush worse. The irony is she went to the ER specifically because of an asthma medication that causes thrush. told them she was having trouble breathing and her throat was closing up. They never even looked! I hate it.

I love learning new things, then finding a recent study that is like "we don't know why this happens". 🙌
Although these studies suggest that hyperandrogenism is correlated with metabolic dysregulation, it is not understood why women with PCOS become insulin resistant and why they have a higher incidence of insulin resistance than predicted by their body mass index. Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia may contribute to metabolic dysregulation by upregulating ovarian androgen production and increasing androgen bioactivity through decreased sex hormone-binding globulin production https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6309599/
Recent studies have shown that sex and sex steroids influence the composition of the gut microbiome. These studies also indicate that steroid regulation of the gut microbiome may play a role in pathological situations of hormonal excess, such as PCOS. ...

I have been diagnosed with cysts, but I still don't know if I have the typical PCOSyndrome But my ovaries don't work properly that's a fact. Because of that i have never had normal cycles/regular cycles and my hormones were dysbalanced. Childhood prepuberty was messed up in some ways which makes me believe it's not just the ovaries (tbf pcos is a neurological syndrome anyways) and then puberty kicked in and it got really bad.
Avatar
Totouroboros Totouboros 4/17/2022 6:28 AM
I was forced to wait it out (my parents didn't let me get help) , but it didn't get better and I didn't know back then what to do about it besides that you should probably go to a doctor. So I just did other things like all kinds of diets (low calorie, Mediterranean, low fat, low sugar, high veggie and fruits/high fiber, unprocessed, glutenfree, lactosefree etc) sleep cycles (sleep withdrawal, polyphasic sleep) There are different things that help imo and you just have to try. A lot of women do say that carbohydrates cause issues and I agree, i do best on a ketogenic or even better carnivore diet. But there's also some women who do best on a mixed diet and need carbs, complex ones and also in a balance. Sleep matters too. Stress and a bad sleep schedule will screw up all hormones. If you have those basics down you can go on further because pcos can be so severe it requires strong medicational therapy in some cases. But again, everyone is different. For some women controlling their insulin resistance with diet and exercise fixes everything. I'm a really bad case, I probably still have cysts/will always have them In my case diet, sleep (sleeping too much is bad for me so i prefer to sleep too little and catch up some days) and avoiding stress are absolutely necessary basics.
Avatar
Totouroboros Totouboros 4/18/2022 9:31 AM
For my androgen problems Dutasteride helps but for a lot spironolactone or other antiandrogens help. I personally am profiting from testosterone, but dihydrotestosterone is bad for me. Since diet, avoidance of stress and proper sleep all contribute to better insulin resistance and help pcos that way too, inositol, specifically myoinositol can help. But also other compounds as well... I am skimming through what others wrote, they kinda stated all that already. About diet, if you have for instance estrogen dominance or even actual excess, then soy can make it worse too. On the other hand it can make it better if you're low on both progesterone and estrogen and androgens are high, trial and error I guess, although you should always first get blood levels tested multiple times (the time of day matters as well as month of course, or time of months if you don't have a regular cycle) so you know what you start out with.
9:33 AM
Also not just soy but other phytoestrogens can be absorbed through skin like through bodylotions. BPA from plastic is bad in general, it causes metabolic and hormonal dysbalance, the more you consume the worse. In pregnant women it alters the fetus' health forever, but I am not sure how longterm the impact is on adults if they stop it, I would have to look it up.

9:40 AM
regular bowel movements are important too because constipation can also cause one to reabsorb estrogen more? At least that is a theory but I don't know exactly. Hormonal dysbalance affects bowel movements of course too. This article has nice info on it: https://centrespringmd.com/estrogen-metabolism-detoxification-reduce-breast-cancer-risk-with-healthy-estrogen-levels/
Do you have a family history of breast cancer? Do you have difficulty sleeping or experience hot flashes? If so, it may be because your estrogen levels are out of balance. Estrogen metabolism and detoxification is the process by which the body breaks down estrogens to prevent leftover estrogen metabolites causing problematic side effects and […]

hemoglobin A1C levels, the defacto measure, is a measure of levels over time - a sort of average that can be gleaned from acumulation of sugars on the heme (blood cells). its a shitty measurement if the problem is variability. High one moment and then low in the next would average out to "Normal". There is also a gene mutation tied to gout (uric acid) that makes high uric acid production even when A1C levels are "normal" and cause all the same kind of inflammation. Its really maddening. We can't get a real-time blood glucose meter to track this stuff for my GF until she gets to the point that she needs to take insulin.. but by that point her beta cells are already dead.

oh yes and about gout: it's best not to start and stop severely low carb diets because it can cause release of uric acid and cause acute inflammation. That's why better go slow and also stick with it long enough instead of yoyoing back and forth, and if introducing carbs, starting low.

They just follow procedure and best practice that is drilled into them. Nurses follow check lists. GF had a case of thrush in her troat recinetly. but she didn't have pain in it, so no one bothered to look and gave her meds that make thrush worse. The irony is she went to the ER specifically because of an asthma medication that causes thrush. told them she was having trouble breathing and her throat was closing up. They never even looked! I hate it.

oral thrush? that was the next thing I wanted to mention Candida can be a major problem and link between all these issues as well. First of all one can be susceptible to candida overgrowth just like that, genetically, or through an acquired immune deficiency like after receiving antibiotics and wrecking the gut biome or taking medications like corticosteroids that can facilitate the growth of candida, but there's more. Estrogen facilitates the growth of it too, which is why estrogen dominance is another factor to consider. Additionally candida overgrowth itself can shift the body into estrogen dominance. And insulin resistance can of course contribute to that. High blood sugar levels feed candida more, high carb diets as well. but even on a lowcarb diet or zerocarb there can still be systemic overgrowth. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1360257/ same article 2 different sites: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211124721016831 and https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.22.207191v1.full Another issue why Candida but also other metabolism issues are linked to PCOS or generally ovarian cysts is Acetaldehyde: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/143495v1.full https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22909057/#:~:text=Conclusions%3A%20Candida%20albicans%20isolated%20from,upregulation%20of%20candidal%20acetaldehyde%20metabolism.

I was writing about this jn somewhere else. Delusions of grandiosity and projection are 2 tools that give you robust resistance to most discomfort.

also, keto is dangerous for intense exercise afaik because using fatty acids as an energy source requires more oxygen and if the heart isn't getting enough, it could result in heart damage. Insulin resistant people and those with clogged arteries face this problem. Both being the possibility of insufficient oxygen but for different reasons.

I've done both stimulant + opioid for an extended period as well as pregabalin + opioid for an extended period. One of the biggest issue with this is while it works near perfectly for discomfort resistance and a small amount of well-being. But it doesn't work well ime for motivation. In fact, it kills it. Imagine hanging right before the bottom of the barrel, unable to reach it, when you reach it, you usually start fighting for improvement. A mildly happy life free of discomfort isn't all that it's cracked up to be without substance and meaning, and these methods don't help with seeking meaning. Worst of all, I for example knew/knows what to do, but yet couldn't do much. Same for others I know who've used these methods. And worst of all, it's killed our abilities to tolerate discomfort sober, and sobriety has become near intolerable. I personally have issues that can make my sober life a living hell, but before the drugs, I figured out a way to tolerate it, now those methods aren't enough. It's harder knowing there's a superior solution. But I'm not as smart as I naturally am like this. Nor were those I know who did this.

Creativity....nothing beats low dose combo of: pregabalin, tramadol & sulpiride (all without tolerance)
5:03 PM
This is a magical combo for creativity.
5:04 PM
Tramadol's ability to lower gaba release is helpful here imo
5:05 PM
Sulpiride's ability to release dopamine (even in the pfc) is useful here as well as it's stimulation of the ghb receptor.
5:06 PM
Both of these help to offset pregabalin's effects on the pfc and return you to your smarter baseline. But retaining the properties outside here that improves creativity.
5:06 PM
I am transparent in everything I do, but sometimes I feel like I shouldn't share my creativity combo since I can probab use this to my advantage lol, but fuck it.

You need to live a very special type of life for this to work. Being near nature, meditating, living a simple life, living a life of giving whilst under the belief that you have nothing of value to give, taking part in the lives of the less fortunate in a detached way where you have no stakes in the outcome. This allows you to continually do your work without breaking, remaining objective and able to help to the best of your ability.
5:11 PM
Without some special life, this eventually leaves an existential discomfort.

Oh, another way is to isolate yourself from humanity for extended periods of time. This works, but it....does things to your mind.

I’ve been trying to figure out what exactly makes Tramadol so unique and magical compared to everything else I’ve tried. The “first” high that comes before the opiate high (which usually begins ~4hrs in) feels like increased creativity, motivation, focus, and insanely reduced friction for initiating actions, and the craziest thing is there’s absolutely no comedown.
4:45 AM
Another thing I would add, I used to take 50-100mg of tramadol but now I feel like I get 80% of the effect (esp the opiate part) with just 20mg (a fifth of a 100mg pill) and even that sometimes has me nodding in the evening

Are there any nootropics that can offset some of the more noisy aspects of such a psychedelic so you can utilize it at a low yet active dose, for the purpose of generating ideas in a more controlled manner
9:09 PM
I am thinking things like guanfacine or low dose sulpiride might work

It doesn't seem to me like stimulants would work due to outside effects from the ones you want actually making it worse

Interesting. Lately on serotonergic hallucinogens (like half the time) I find myself having the hardest time initiating (physical) action, having to think through every aspect of the action to make sure it’s “valid”

An example that comes to mind from a recent trip is one where I couldn’t get up at all because every time I tried to I felt like I had my phone (or something valuable) in my lap that would fall and break, so I had to make sure I could “safely” get up, which was something that took forever while in that tripping state

The R- and S- enantiomers of tramadol act on different receptors in a complimentary manner. The R- enantiomer is a selective agonist of the mu receptors and inhibits serotonin reuptake while the S- enantiomer inhibits noradrenaline reuptake. Tramadol acts as an opioid receptor agonist,[11][12] serotonin releasing agent,[12][4][13][14] norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor,[12] NMDA receptor antagonist,[15] 5-HT2C receptor antagonist,[16] (α7)5 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist,[16] and M1 and M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist.[17][18]

I loved Tramadol. Also, interestingly, I reacted to the euphoria of opiates in such a way that they were quite stimulating for me: I was writing reams and reams of poems, going out meeting more people than I ever had done before, was obsessed about becoming a polymath like da Vinci. My mind opened up. This was just with codeine.

Yeah, it’s an amazing combo in a single substance. The most interesting part of it for me is that the opiate effects really only kick in (noticeably) for me a few hours after taking it (it’s quite noticeable too since I begin to itch on even low opiate doses) and it kicks in right around when I feel I’m coming down off the initial stimulation high (which is most pronounced for the first few hours after taking it). The stim + opiate combo is actually one I’ve really enjoyed with other substances (for example, amphetamine then kratom on the comedown) since it allows me to keep my productivity going after the stim comedown, and most importantly makes me feel good about the work I did while stimmed (a lot of times even when I get a lot of work done on stims, the comedown makes me question whether the work I did was worth it at all, since in that state it’s hard to get excited for the future rewards that I’ve gotten closer to reaching) (edited)

@lov To help me answer your question about reducing the 'noisy' aspect of psychedelic hallucinogens; are you specifically referring to tryptamines, phenethylamines, or both?
11:35 PM
Tryptamines have a liquid-esque flow (which can be difficult to define/put your finger on exactly what it is, esoteric), felt throughout the bodies nerve-system; whereas phenethylamines have an electric tingling pins&needles(in a good way) felt throughout the bodies nerve-system, that is well defined/determinable. (edited)
11:37 PM
So do you define 'noise' as difficulty understanding the effects/high; or do you define 'noise' being well defined electric tingling? (edited)
Avatar
Tryptamines. Cognitively, bringing up information from the unconscious into the conscious without being in control of it. This may be specific to certain types of people though, so you might not necessarily know this effect, the same as I probab not knowing certain effects it may have in others with certain differences.
10:16 PM
I mean noisy because my working memory can't maintain information for long, so often it'd feel noisy as the information would be broken up and sometimes in nonsensical orders
10:18 PM
Phenethylamines aren't particularly noisy, more that it fucks with my attention, not my ability to pay attention, just that I end up paying attention to all sorts of nonsense rather than what I wanted to focus on prior
10:19 PM
I've mentioned it before, but some property and differences with 5-meo-dmt causes it to lack noisy features. Well, smoked or insufflated specifically. Plugged, I am pretty sure some of it gets converted to another psychedelic.
10:20 PM
Man, it's so "clean"

I know clean and dirty tend to be terms reserved for other classes of drugs, but to me, I think some psychedelics are dirty and some clean, might just be my preference, who knows

I think it just releases more adrenaline, and the "heavy bodyload" isn't really heavy as rather its anaesthetic, dissociative effects makes it seem that way at first before taking full effect. I take propranolol or atenolol whenever I use it now and it's very gentle physically. (edited)

Negative affectivity (NA), or negative affect, is a personality variable that involves the experience of negative emotions and poor self-concept. Negative affectivity subsumes a variety of negative emotions, including anger, contempt, disgust, guilt, fear, and nervousness. Low negative affectivity is characterized by frequent states of calmness ...

I should probab quit again. I can't properly quit without using my psychedelic, I experience terrible withdrawals and after that, fucking scary depression. Like torment, like a bad trip became my baseline. I think the psychedelic helps mess with the serotonin receptors to not make that aspect of the withdrawal difficult, helps a little with the opioid aspect too. Pregabalin tolerance and withdrawal, while bad, goes away amazingly quickly, in a week it's almost reset perfectly from use going into the grams within a day sometimes. So, after the psychedelic, things becomes easy, but there's this weird fear with the psychedelic, like I'll realize how useless some of the things I'm researching is for my life and how much it's hurting me. I'm scared to let go of this little weird situation with plans not helpful for my life circumstances right now. Not scared scared, rather stubborn is the better word.

It's not that bad, as long as I take care of my cardiovascular system with something compensating for any potential little damage it poses. It doesn't feel like withdrawal from gabanergics though. I doubt any neurotoxicity is that bad, the biggest issue with it is its fucked up relationship to angiotensin. (edited)

They say venlafaxine is the worst antidepressant withdrawal, tramadol seems to overlap in activity with it except for the prominent opioid effect.

I don't think it works that way, I haven't studied it in a while, but it seems to decrease the physical movement of neurotransmitters in certain areas of the brain, rather than dealing with ion channels

they work by reversing the function of presynaptic transporters instead of inhibiting them and improving vesicular function
8:30 AM
Modafinil indeed inhibits DAT and improves vesicular release
8:31 AM
which is why it works best when u sprint
8:31 AM
it's dependent on mitochondrial function while the classical release agents are not

because of this MoA it's an intraneuron antioxidant while the other release agents increase oxidative load

monoamines are way too complex to cell biology
Avatar
VeganPermanently 9/7/2022 8:35 AM
this is because natural release is dependent on vesicular content which is dependent on VMAT2 function which is dependent on mitochondrial health
8:35 AM
in a high oxidative load environment mitochondria burn out over time
8:35 AM
but without oxidative load altogether they just stop producing cellular energy
8:36 AM
low grade intermittent oxidation bursts stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis
8:37 AM
which is why 10 minutes of red light therapy / day help monoamine function
8:37 AM
but if you exposed your brain to red light all day it would cause Parkinson's

these affect the oxidative stress in single non-brain cells a weirdly strong amount

BPAP is a vesicular release agent as well

whenever u see 'electrically evoked release' that means vesicular release

Valbenazine, sold under the trade name Ingrezza, is a medication used to treat tardive dyskinesia. It acts as a vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor.

Everyone chooses immortal life when given the opportunity. Not a single person will tell God to erase them at the gates of heaven. The problem is that people know death is the hardest problem of existence so they don't bother and cope instead. 5HT2A activation and lots of questioning leads one to shred off the deathist ideologies imposed by society. The end of death is the end of suffering, but not the end of evolution and development. The world will only grow. Humans consume such miniscule amounts of energy when compared to the amount the sun produces that it's ridiculous that we need to die.

kuzweil's books have influenced me more than almost anything else that i know of...i believe within ~20 years a superintelligence will emerge that will gain a decisive strategic advantage over all other competitors and wipe them out, it may be the first human to connect their brain to a computer in a useful way, or it may be a new artificial lifeform created by a human, either way it will be a new paradigm: the first time in history when a single individual will be significantly more capable at achieving his goals than all of his peers combined...i'm not sure how meaningful it is but i scored 145iq on a supervised mensa australia test

Yes I think there's a relatively high probability of a scenario like the one you're describing
1:55 AM
I don't think most super-empowered humans would default to destroying all possible competitors. I think we've learned enough about empathy, joint success and possibly even about oneness of consciousness, that in the human-computer scenario, humanity stands a chance. In a simple AGI scenario though, our odds might be significantly lower

I think even a basic understanding shows that we only have empathy because we are just tools that our genes use to reproduce themselves...right now our genes are more capable of achieving their goals than we are, but if we overcome our genetic slavery and become the dominant ones in the relationship, we wouldn't be bound by such things as empathy... But also it only takes 1 player to not have such weak thoughts, and that player will win...i think you project what you hope would happen to you rather than what would really happen, but even if you became superintelligent first and decided not to use your advantage, it would only take 1 other mind catching up to you that had the will to achieve its goals, to take you out, and then your dreams of peace would be shown to be nothing more than a delusion But yeah, the one possible scenario i can see where 1 mind wouldn't destroy all others, is if many minds simultaneously accelerated to superintelligence and all hit physical universal limits at the same time...in that case there would be a rough equilibrium of many similarly-capable minds like we have now...but that seems very unlikely (edited)

Why should we escape evolved interests or "genetic slavery"? Everything we care about and think is a product of how we evolved. What is the point of creating new interests outside of evolved interests? The only reason you'd even want to escape genetic slavery is because you evolved to want that somehow. Which means you can never escape it because escaping is part of the thing being escaped.
4:51 PM
The only way I can see creating new interests as valuable is if we set the bar for feeling happy very low. Like we become euphoric simply every breathe we take for no reason. Then we can all live in paradise by doing nothing but breathing. I am not sure I'd even want that though but I guess if we changed what I want, then I would, so it makes no difference.

As we increase the horizons of our intelligence, we also increase the horizons of our goals and motivations...most humans are not concerned with gathering all the matter in the universe to make a bigger brain & body, or with finding a way to escape the universe before it runs out of energy
8:22 PM
Likewise, a superintelligent mind with a brain made with all the matter and energy from 1000 galaxies will not be concerned with how to make a good resume for a job application
8:25 PM
If you think a superintelligent mind will still be concerned with human-level goals then you are anthropomorphizing it too much

The concern to make a resume for a job application is actually about sex and the fear of death or even broadly the fear of losing what we have, which probably also stems from things like sex and fear of death
8:58 PM
Humans don't actually care about job applications. Those are merely a tool to achieve sex and survival

We have those motivations now because our genes have wired us that way...if we achieve our own goals, even just survival, that is only subordinate to our genes' survival
9:05 PM
We're limited right now by the way we are hard-wired...if we remove those limitations our goals will change
9:07 PM
Removing our limitations or creating a new lifeform without those limitations isn't much different...but if the way we create a new lifeform that becomes a superintelligence is to just let it loose and let it grow on its own, then we would have less influence on its development

Life is in competition, and we don't wipe each other out because we can't, because we're all so similar...there's some variation but no one has a decisive advantage...creating a superintelligence (or upgrading oneself to be superintelligent first) could allow someone to gain that advantage and eliminate all competition, that's why people have that goal

What kind of goals do you think drive this? I think an expanded mind provides more access to rewards and more ability to attain security from death. Maybe more ways to reach all of our other goals. I don't think that mind expansion itself is the real goal. Instead, we use an expanded mind as a way to better solve all of our fears and desires.
9:20 PM
I think our fears and desires can be boiled down into something extract. Maybe we can even simply just say we have fear and desire and that is basically it. The complicated theories and belief systems surrounding our fears and desires are like an analysis for the best ways to control our emotions. It all comes down to controlling a feeling inside of us. That is all we are

Some people also report a noticeable decrease in their sharpness of vision when they inadvertently consume gluten, which clears up when their other gluten symptoms abate. However, there's no clear evidence for these visual effects in the medical literature. https://www.verywellhealth.com/how-celiac-disease-affects-your-senses-4143258

Some william blake:
The ancient Poets animated all sensible objects with Gods or Geniuses, calling them by the names and adorning them with the properties of woods, rivers, mountains, lakes, cities, nations, and whatever their enlarged & numerous senses could perceive. And particularly they studied the genius of each city & country, placing it under its mental deity. Till a system was formed, which some took advantage of & enslav'd the vulgar by attempting to realize or abstract the mental deities from their objects: thus began Priesthood. Choosing forms of worship from poetic tales. And at length they pronounced that the Gods had orderd such things. Thus men forgot that All deities reside in the human breast.

Without Contraries is no progression. Attraction and Repulsion, Reason and Energy, Love and Hate, are necessary to Human existence. From these contraries spring what the religious call Good & Evil. Good is the passive that obeys Reason. Evil is the active springing from Energy. Good is Heaven. Evil is Hell.

@qwerkyscience how did u get over ur social defeat?
qwerkyscience 3/29/2023 9:52 PM
There's many ways, but most will involve changing yourself or others. Changing others means making them see you differently, assuming you are defeated by them. You can raise your status, lie (this hurts you though), find new friends, avoid people that damage your self worth, curate your friends specifically for those who accept you for who you are, and more. There's probably ways to use drugs. I can't recommend that but sometimes it can help if you are truly trapped in a loop and your defeated behavior feeds into others defeating you. If it's entirely a mindset, I think certain drugs knock us out of that space, but with risk.

this is an interesting paradox on one hand, I would say that the "social world" only influences you so much as you want to let it (I suppose, assuming awareness of the fact that it has the potential to influence, because if one doesn't really think about that, then they're influenced by all sorts of social forces).... on another hand, I would say, the desire for autonomy can be also seen as an ego-driven desire, and, so.... why does it matter so much? and on another hand, I would say to that, of course autonomy matters, but thru the lens of equanimity, perhaps we can find a balance.....

anyways came across this other interesting article suggesting Myricetin from green tea has OPIOID activity, and that this opioid activity is connected to its effects on insulin sensitivity / GLP-1.
3:45 AM
Myricetin is a common plant-derived flavonoid, considered an agonist of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor. It improves glycemic control and helps reduce body weight in diabetic subjects. The potential mechanisms of action of myricetin in this context might be enhancing the secretion of β-endorphin (BER) to activate peripheral μ-opioid receptors. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35215286

An unfortunate fact.

This is why I'm for an ai relationship of any kind, drugs have messed with my mind over the years and I've begun fundamentally trusting people. Before I'd give a sort of trust where it was 50% truly unconditional trust 50% acute awareness of their potential treachery, although I somewhat lowered my guard against those who while could be, just didn't have any motives at the time. And honestly, I truly wanted to be proven wrong, but again and again, people showed their weakness, I don't blame them, it's just what it is. My mind was clouded and I allowed myself to grow conditioned attachments to people who are clear threats with a history littered with large ones to myself and those around them.

Checks and balances. Always. Every biological system has checks and balanced preventing the spread of cancerous growth. That being said sometimes anomalies in this system appear which result in a localized catastrophe. We are already seeing the use AIs within AIs to verify informational quality and moral agendas. We only need to be as scared as our ability to handle a new outbreak of smallpox-19. I myself am concerned of an AI fueled coldwar where the stalemate is disrupted and huge damages are observed. Maybe we will get lucky. The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs didn't wipe out every animal species. We ourselves the homo sapiens survived an ice age and many more things after that. Like I said, "localized catastrophes."

I haven't been much on /r/researchchemicals in past years, coming back, did the community become way more fearmongering rather than analytical? I guess that's the natural progression of things, there really is a wealth of knowledge stored on a couple forums which tends to give you a good impression of seemingly curious things related to whatever chem, as long as it's been out long enough to be examined like that. Literacy is important too of the medium, but what I don't get is pure reactions coming off as condescending to people asking questions. I remember multiple influxes of new users in various places like bluelight, this sub etc, and the progression they had from enthusiasts asking questions and eventually building their literacy in the medium due to the specific pressures the culture had for pushing people towards knowledge rather than...what seems like folk supernatural reasoning although with airs of the partially appropriate vocabulary.

Saw a video with a celeb a while back talking about the program a lot of them do from some trainer to get a certain aesthetic body. And upon closer inspection, it's literally a lie, like if you briefly see them in video without proper inspection, you think they're ripped. It's mostly just having cuts at the right intersections between muscle groups. And they're not even properly symmetrical when I looked closely, full illusion. This trainer got popular because I figure it's the fastest path to looking more decent than they were before in their minds. A sprinkle of juice and a speedrun into...don't even know how to describe it. I mean, when they're moving it does have an aesthetic, I also think they had some makeup to make the shadow even and deeper. And perhaps the editor also adds a little to make it look better sometimes

yea, but it's not beneficial through energy production, it acts as a hdac which causes its positive effects, it'll still do that.

I can't argue why as I don't remember clearly, but I feel like I looked into this long ago and the hdac aspect was big for neurotrophic reasons. It's raised levels in olanzapine (or one of them, can't remember which lol) partially helps various conditions negative symptoms much better than antipsychotics that don't trigger it, and a shown neurotrophic aspect was shown iirc And valproate's hdac properties is shown to have a neurotrophic effect from the same area iirc, and has been shown to have a phenotypic effect in being able to learn perfect pitch in adulthood despite this usually not being the case in adulthood

Mangy Dingo 8/16/2023 12:42 AM
It might help for various reasons. One is providing an alternative to glucose in cases of glucose hypometabolism. Another is HDACi. Another is increase in glutathione synthesis (and concomitant redirection of glutamate; this is also probably why NAC is effective). Another is slightly increasing brain acidity which changes the threshold for sodium channels (a potential mechanism for lithium as well). Etc etc

I couldn't say because I haven't read anything about them. Drugs tend to do multiple things though and sometimes the mechanism isn't the obvious one, eg statins are potently anti inflammatory and the lower cholesterol may be irrelevant

They are 2 slightly different mechanisms but converge in effect for switching metabolism to favour glucose, so because of them being different and this one convergent effect being the case, and both being shown for the same reasons, improved athletic ability, and same form of protection for heart conditions, makes me trust the explanation I gave (edited)

Mangy Dingo 8/16/2023 12:46 AM
Again, I can't comment. But they likely do multiple things. The body is a vast complex of feedback loops and something might be beneficial in some contexts but harmful in others. And sometimes we're completely wrong on the mechanisms why

which makes it ideal to study
The central pattern generators in the stomatogastric ganglion (STG) of lobsters and crabs are ideal for many analyses because the STG has only about 30 large neurons, the connectivity is established, the neurons are easy to record from, and when the stomatogastric ganglion is removed from the animal, it continues to produce rhythmic motor patterns.

I’m not personally aware of whether there’s any ongoing broader discussions about potential links between the gabaergic system and those specific insulinergic energy management systems (edited)

Ketosis has that effect. Not sure exactly how however. Something something redirecting glutamine towards gluconeogenesis?

"In ketosis, less glutamate is metabolized and more becomes available to the glutamate decarboxylase reaction for the purpose of GABA synthesis" What Google tells me

I also wanted to ask Ik u suggested white willow bark Kratom but how about Krabot - spectrum maeng da Kratom - Ganons blend . I think it’s a mixture of all 3 strains red white blue , similar effects to phenibut for social anxiety?

I played with this idea somewhere else but I'll put it to you guys, there seems to be a profound difference that happens between different sets of people who use "consciousness expanding agents" (classic psychedelics) where instead of become more contemplative etc etc which occurs with one set, the other become more animalistic. Ofc aspects of both are shared with all, but it's like they have a natural inclination to that primal animalistic self away from the rational self. It's a phenomenon I suspect which caused a lot of psychedelic using societies in the distant past to control its use and keep it for those with some intellectual cultural background or who show that inclination. Or for a religious class but let's ignore that one. You see deep fragmentation in those societies where it freely was used, and more primal rites being important to them. Consciousness feels effortful, it seems we congregate towards two poles which have those who for some reason wish to experience that effortful attention, and those who would rather leave it up to the flow of the universe and the rhythms of their tribe.

Dissociatives and similar drugs have a strange effect, it seems to deactivate certain populations of neurons and active others, where some can lead to that higher consciousness while suppressing anxiety.

Molybdenum you say? "Revisit gut microbiota and its impact on human health and disease" [JUL 2019] from 'Journal of Food and Drug Analysis' highlights some additional insights to the Molybdenum/bacteria related inflammation processes aside from butyrate/propionate levels. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jfda.2018.12.012
wanted to follow up on this with reards to @Totouroboros Totouboros's idea of Molybdenum. We ended up going with stinging nettle tea thru some research. I think you are right the Acetaldehyde problem was a key factor in the inflammation. https://twitter.com/ultimape/status/1628911638756696065 We ended up getting to see an infectious disease doctor and the fluconazole was apparently prescribed wrong, so we got a big dose of that and it killed off the candida. However she got the liver / bile problems from it so that kinda sucked. Turns out FMTs fix this lmao. (edited)
@BioavailableNd @Beteljuice I had been trying to find a dietary source of molybdenum and it turns out that has it too. Great plant. https://t.co/gdun1WjL5O https://t.co/5vQxFwaWME
